Hot on the heels of the announcement that Jamie Foxx would play Electro in The Amazing Spiderman 2, the Twitter world is all abuzz with the news that another iconic Spiderman villain, Professor Michael Morbius will also appear in the next installment.
Actor Asim Ahmad confirmed via his official website that he has been cast as Morbius in the web-slinging sequel. Before you fret about villain overload (ala Spiderman 3) fear not. Ahmad will only appear in one to two scenes, so this is most likely a setup for the third film in the trilogy.
For those of you not in the know, Morbius is a doctor in the Spiderman universe who tries to cure his own terminal blood disease and winds up turning himself into a vampire. (The mean kind not the sparkly kind.) Whether or not this is something that can play for the audience is another story entirely.
The Amazing Spiderman 2 starts filming next year and will open May 2, 2014.
