Morbius director Daniel Espinosa has addressed the film's negative critical reception.
At the time of writing, the film sits at 16% on Rotten Tomatoes, though its Audience Score is a much higher 70%.
"When I did my first feature it was a small movie called Babylon Disease. I remember one day going home on the subway and I had a few drinks so I was a bit drunk. Someone nudged me on the train and said, 'I have to tell you what's wrong with the second scene in your feature,' and I was like, 'Well, okay,'" Espinosa told Insider.
He continued: "The point I'm making is that it's a strange thing to make something that is so public. Look, I have a lot of self-hatred so I have a lot of criticism of my own work. I'm always trying to focus on being better. But I am also proud of what I do. There are parts in all of my movies that I'm really proud of."
"The whole idea of mixing a character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe with our universe was something that was there from the beginning," Espinosa told GamesRadar+ of the cameo. "The core idea stems from the Spider-Verse, which was the animated movie that came out even before I started shooting my own picture. That idea was started both with us, but also with Kevin Feige. I think that's why they did the last Spider-Man in the way they did."
