David Dastmalchian Expresses Interest in Playing Morbius in Marvel Cinematic Universe

David Dastmalchian, known for his roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe such as Kurt in Ant-Man and Veb in Quantumania, has expressed a strong interest in joining the MCU's darker, horror-inspired side by portraying Morbius, the living vampire. He has long been a fan of horror and unusual characters and would love the opportunity to play Dr. Michael Morbius, as well as other supernatural figures like Marvel's version of Dracula. Dastmalchian's enthusiasm aligns with Marvel Studios' recent focus on horror elements seen in projects like Werewolf by Night, Moon Knight, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Despite Jared Leto's portrayal of Morbius in the 2022 Sony film, which is not part of MCU continuity, there is potential for a fresh take on the character within the MCU. Additionally, Dastmalchian humorously suggested his character Veb could join the Fantastic Four to help navigate multiverse languages, showing his eagerness to deepen his involvement in the MCU. His broad experience in both superhero and horror genres makes him a fitting candidate for these supernatural roles.
