Morbius was a 2022 superhero film that focused on Morbius, a character who is normally depicted as an enemy of Spider-Man. The film starred Jared Leto as the title character and Matt Smith as the title character's childhood friend. In addition, the film had Michael Keaton. However, Michael Keaton's role in the film ended up confusing lots of fans.
One of the most interesting aspects of the Morbius film is Michael Keaton's role in the film. Michael Keaton first played the villainous Vulture in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming. The first teaser for Morbius revealed that Michael Keaton's Vulture would be in Morbius. Michael Keaton appeared in two other trailers for the film, so it seemed like Michael Keaton would get a decent amount of screentime.
However, Michael Keaton's Vulture ended up playing no role in the main plot of the film. In the actual film, he only appeared in two scenes that took place after the credits started. Morbius was a film that was changed a lot. Lots of scenes were cut of the film. Several scenes from the trailers didn't appear in the film.
I went through the trailers for Morbius to compile all of the dialogue that Michael Keaton has in the trailers that was cut out of the film:
From the initial trailer:
"Michael Morbius, you got tired of doing the whole good guy thing, huh? What's up doc?"
From another trailer:
"Hey, uh, Dr. Michael, you and I should stay in touch."
From yet another trailer:
"Michael Morbius, discover who you're meant to be."
"Michael Morbius, you've been given a gift. Time to let go of what you used to be and discover who you're meant to be."
Here's what he says in the actual film:
From his first scene in the film:
"Hope the food's better in this joint."
From his second scene in the film:
"Thanks for meeting me, doc. I've been reading about you. I'm not sure how I got here. It has to do with Spider-Man, I think. I'm still figuring this place out, but I think a bunch of guys like us should team up and do some good."
As a big fan of Michael Keaton, part of me was disappointed that his role was trimmed down. It doesn't help that the Batgirl film he was in was cancelled. However, Michael Keaton left a big impression with his small amount of screentime. I hope that Sony and Marvel give him more to do in a future film.
