Thus, finally, they decided to place it in the post-credit scenes«.
“The idea of the Multiverse was from Sony,” said the director
Daniel Espinosa insisted on this argument, pointing out that he did not know how the appearance of the Vulture would have worked if it did not premiere before Spider-Man: No Way Home. «We had to agree narratively. I didn’t know what multiversal transport would have looked likereasoned the director of Morbius. Originally, the tape Jared Leto was going to be released before Spider-Man: No Way Home, so the appearance of the Vulture in the film had to be transformed. The filmmaker wanted to talk about the Multiverse, mentioning Kevin Feige and denying that it was the president of Marvel Studios who came up with the concept.
In fact, he has denied that Kevin Feige was the developer of the multiversal idea. This was stated before by the writers of Spider-Man: No Way Home, but Daniel Espinosa has denied it. According to the director of Morbiusthe idea was Sony Pictures Entertainment. «There were a lot of things we had to address“, the filmmaker began to explain. «But I think the concept of having different timelines came from Sony Pictures Entertainment, not Kevin Feige. It was Sony that invented that idea. I think it was Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. I would bet your life that you will end up having the Miles Morales from that movie at some point in the MCU«.
