We’re a month away from the Marvel vampire’s big-screen vehicle.

Sony Pictures has released the final preview and the pic seen above from MORBIUS, coming exclusively to theaters April 1. Directed by Daniel Espinosa from a screenplay by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, it stars Jared Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal and Tyrese Gibson. The synopsis: “One of the most compelling and conflicted characters in Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters comes to the big screen as Oscar winner Jared Leto transforms into the enigmatic antihero Michael Morbius. Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. While at first it seems to be a radical success, a darkness inside him is unleashed. Will good override evil–or will Morbius succumb to his mysterious new urges?”
