A SPIDER-VERSE CAMPAIGN FOR A SONY FILM
HOW THE DAILY BUGLE REACHED MORBIUS
The third season is a campaign leading up to the events of the Sony film Morbius, released in March 2022 separately from the No Way Home videos and made available on the TheDailyBugle.net TikTok channel. Marvel partnered with Sony Pictures to produce the videos for the series as a whole.
FOUR SHORT VIDEOS
WHAT THE THIRD SEASON COVERS
Four episodes were posted from 18 March 2022, running from 51 seconds to 1 minute 37 seconds. In the first, Nicque Marina introduces herself as the new social correspondent and reports on Dr. Michael Morbius rejecting a prestigious award, describing his synthetic blood as either “very helpful, or a disaster.” The second reports that Morbius is missing after a cargo ship washed ashore on Long Island, with Dr. Martine Bancroft reportedly on board. The last two cover Morbius being found looking healthier than ever and a super creature spotted in New York City, with Marina reporting “from the safety of her closet.”
