📉 "Could've added it to my list of failures"

Ari Aster, director of Midsommar and Hereditary, revealed he once turned down the chance to direct Morbius (2021).

On the podcast Mixed Signals, Aster admitted he was offered a major studio film:

"Yes… it was Morbius." He even hesitated to recall the character’s name, showing little interest in the project. When told he might have made it great, he joked: "Maybe I would’ve just added it to my list of flops." 😂

Morbius—part of Sony's Spider-Man Universe—was a critical and commercial failure. Follow-up films like Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter also underperformed, leaving the franchise stalled 🧛‍♂️💤

Meanwhile, Aster’s new film Eddington, a modern Western black comedy starring Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone & more, hits U.S. theaters this week 🎥
