The ultimate battle at Sony and Marvel Morbius Watch the titular vampire Jared Leto compete with Matt Smith in an abandoned subway tunnel, using his relationship with bats to defeat his rival. Since the film’s release, it has been confirmed that this is not the original ending. If you remember, there was footage in several trailers of Therese Gibson and Al Madrigal characters standing in Central Park with an entire police force around them, apparently waiting for a showdown. This clash was initially intended to be the film’s final ending, but it was canceled in favor of an underground battle that had to be filmed during reshoots.
after the appearance of Morbius On 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD, ComicBook.com spoke with Joel Behrens, the film’s VFX supervisor for the digital domain. He’s opened up a bit about the plans for the big alternate ending, at least from an effects perspective, and offered some insight into why the scene changed in the first place.
“We’ve done some work [the original scene], but not by much, because they were thinking of changing the ending. So we did some development work and I wouldn’t say much work on that. But we did some development work because it was initially supposed to be Central Park, in that field area that I saw,” Burns explained. And they just decided that they wanted to go in a different direction with the fight, think about [Daniel Espinosa] I thought it was more dramatic underground. So we found these pictures of some of these tunnels under construction, metro tunnels that are actually in New York. And some that were just sitting there and never finished. And there were just these giant caves with these four tunnels at the end that each could fit the size of a subway through them. So we saw some of these pictures and Daniel really liked the idea that she’s kind of hitting the ground while she’s fighting in this masonry building. And ending the fight where he can take advantage of collecting all these bats and defeat Milo in a more dramatic way than when we were outdoors.”
Byrnes added that the filmmakers didn’t move the scene underground just to change the lighting. There was also the idea that the fight between Morbius and Milo should be a more intimate, one-to-one relationship.
“I think they felt it was better to have some kind of country apart in a more interesting environment than some kind of park,” he said. “He threw some of the wrench in us because then we had to build the whole CG environment, and all of a sudden, we went and did the rebuilding. They built, I don’t know, maybe 20 by 20 feet of land with some rubble and debris on it. And then the rest was It’s all a blue screen. So we had to build almost the entire environment from scratch on that environment.”
