Morbius
Biochemist Michael Morbius (Jared Lehto) tries to cure himself of a rare blood disease, but when his experiment goes wrong, he inadvertently infects himself with a form of vampirism instead. A scientist suffering from a rare blood disease whose attempts to cure himself afflict him with a form of transgenic vampirism, gaining superhuman abilities but none of the superstitious weaknesses associated with vampires. Leto was drawn to the character's struggle with his disease and the moral implications of a hero who has a thirst for blood. Leto found the role to be surprisingly challenging due to it being much less character driven than his prior performances and also much closer to his real life personality and thus did not require his well-known method acting approach.
