«I have a six-year-old daughter who is now taking an interest in Pokémon.“explained the filmmaker Morbius. «Know? I’ve followed that franchise for years. I actually love how they use light and colors to express their powers. When you see my movie, the antihero always has a trace of purple. That already comes out in the comics.
