According to FandomWire, MORBIUS will also be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One indication of this is the appearance of J.K Simmons, once again playing the role of J.Jonah Jameson in SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME.

Spider-Man is also mentioned to appear in the form of a poster in the film MORBIUS in the future. This indicates that the timeline of MORBIUS is set after SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME.

Both Marvel Studios and Sony have not yet provided official confirmation regarding the involvement of MORBIUS in the MCU. As known, the relationship between the two studios is quite complicated. Since the interconnected Sony film world began to form, there has been confusion about how it will relate to the MCU.
