Morbius fans have the movie trending again after a KFC post made everyone Morb-out. On Twitter, the restaurant’s account Tweeted about the film and it caused some more conversations about Jared Leto’s big superhero film. It would seem as though Morbius is destined to be one of those online classics of this streaming age. The memes just won’t stop even months after release. Twitter is better off for it, because anything that gets this many creative minds working to post strange jokes can’t be all bad. More likely, the strange composition of the film, and the slower widespread adoption of the story has led to people just cutting loose online. Unfortunately for some of Morbius‘ stars, the same thing can’t be said for the editing department.

Al Madrigal told ComicBookMovie.com about his experience filming Morbius. He thinks that they could have left some of his funnier moments in this one and it could have done better. The actor played Agent Rodriguez, who was one of the fun moments of the movie for sure.
“First of all, Morbius: not as bad as everybody is making it out to be,” Madrigal explained. “Sure, it had problems and they diced it up quite a bit. I had some hilarious lines that were cut out of that movie. I was very funny [Laughs]. In London, when you shoot they do a halfway party exactly midway through the film and there’s a big blowout. Editors came up to me. A gaggle of them came up and said, ‘Oh my God, we see everything you’re doing. All the subtle stuff. All of the jokes.’ I got to improvise through that freely. If they’d left in just 50% more of my stuff [Laughs]. I got butchered in that thing. I think that’s what they did. They just really…because of COVID, they just had so much time to mess with it. They really messed with it.”
