Weaknesses. Hunger: The one true weakness Morbius has that supernatural vampires possess is that he must ingest fresh blood several times a week in order to maintain his physical and mental vitality. The longer he goes without blood, the weaker he becomes and the more likely he is to lose control.
For years, Morbius frequently clashed with Spider-Man and other superheroes while occasionally regaining his reason and helping those he regarded as allies.
Dr. Michael Morbius, Ph. D., M.D., better known as simply Morbius, is an anti-heroic antagonist from Marvel Comics, serving as an enemy to Spider-Man, Blade, and Ghost Rider. He was a biogenetic scientist who was dying of a blood-destroying disease.
It became the subject of Internet memes mocking its reception and quality; the popularity of said memes led Sony to re-release the film in theaters the following June, to another commercial failure.
Sorry Venom fans, Venom 3 has been confirmed to be the last movie in the saga. Bad news Venom fans, but it looks like the franchise's upcoming third installment will be the alien symbiote's last dance as Sony has revealed that Venom 3 is the final film in the series.
While this is moot, the answer is no. Morbius, like most Spidey supporting characters/villains, is film-wise, owned by Sony and any character who appears in a Tom Holland MCU movie must meet with that approval.

The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, a guide to all things Marvel Comics, notes that Morbius can lift up to 1,500 pounds, while Spider-Man is able to "press lift many tons." Seeing as a ton equals 2,000 pounds, it's clear the Handbook considers Spider-Man several times stronger than Morbius.
In his vampiric state, Morbius' face changes to look more bat-like. His bones also become partially hollow which allow him to ride wind currents as if he's flying. His new form also gives him heightened senses as well as increased stamina, speed, strength and durability.
Morbius, the Living Vampire, can go into the sun and walk in daylight, albeit with less power. He also does not have any of the usual weaknesses of vampires, such as aversions to religious iconographies or vulnerabilities to stakes through the heart.
What happens to Martine? Milo uses Martine to draw Morbius out and into their final conflict, and in the process, she's fatally wounded. Before she dies, though, Martine bites Morbius' lip and drinks a drop of his blood – and after she dies, the devastated vampire bites her.
Moreover, Sony knows that Morbius got miserable reviews, a C+ from Cinemascore and a horrific 1.88x multiplier from a not-great $39 million opening weekend. They know that $163 million worldwide from a $75 million budget with that kind of buzz is not a franchise born but, at best, a bullet dodged.
