‘Morbius’ Stars Jared Leto and Matt Smith on Michael and Milo’s Friendship

In Morbius, in theaters now, we discover Michael and Milo’s first encounter when Milo is admitted to the same hospital under the care of Dr. Nicholas as both young children suffer from the same debilitating blood disease.

It is Michael who gives the young Lucien his new name—Milo—presumably to not get attached and have to learn a new name. Michael reveals to “Milo” that there have been many Milos who have shared the neighboring bed in their ward.
