Yes, you read that right, the ever popular Morbius memes may have led to the film, which was a largely panned by critics and viewers in April, to enter into theaters again for a second showing.

The movie, which is already out on streaming platforms, will be reentering the theaters as a last chance to squeeze additional profits, which has many on the internet afraid that a sequel might be unironically in the works.

After weeks of memes about the film, ‘MORBIUS’ will return to over 1,000 theaters tomorrow.

I don’t know who campaigned to have morbius back in theatres but you realise to complete the joke you have to continue to not see the movie right

Almost instantly after the news began to spread, many people around the web started defending the film, while others began to attack those for gaslighting others into either liking the movie or going to see it now that it's back in theaters.

Memes also started to appear likening the Sony executives to Boomers who are out of touch and don't understand that many people don't actually like Morbius, they like the memes about it, with a scene from The Simpsons being used in two separate instances to showcase this.

Yo wtf Morbius was actually decent. Held back by Leto's acting imo, but otherwise pretty fun. 7/10 I'd say. Milo definitely was the most entertaining part of the movie, bro was such a fun villain. Just dancing and murdering his way into being a lovable bastard

Continuing on with the joke that Morbius is a good movie that will have multiple sequels, some social media users have already begun to plot out what the future of cinema holds, with Morbius sequels flying out the gate and being instant smash success stories.

The year is 2042.

The 10th Morbius film is about to come out because the memes led to an unironically successful franchise.

Jared Leto literally identifies as Morbius now, refusing all other work.

The Morbius franchise outgrosses the MCU every year.
