Sony Corp’s movie studio is delaying the January release of Marvel superhero movie Morbius until April 1, the studio said in a statement on Monday. The film starring Jared Leto in the title role has been postponed several times during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its most recent planned release date was Jan 28. For movie theater operators, the delay is a setback as they try to rebound from extended closures during the COVID crisis. Chains including AMC Entertainment Cinemark Holdings Inc and Cineworld Group have been celebrating blockbuster ticket sales for Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.
