Jared Leto has been a star for decades, but it's only now at 50 that he is fronting his first major blockbuster—transforming into a vampire for new Marvel flick "Morbius".
Leto made his name in more independent and cult projects, such as his Oscar-winning turn in AIDS drama "Dallas Buyer's Club" or as a junkie in "Requiem for a Dream".
But he has no qualms about joining the superhero juggernaut with "Morbius", that is hitting cinemas around the world next week.
"You want Marvel to help pay the bills, then you can sneak in some other movies here and there," he told AFP during a visit to Paris.
"I'm excited. I've done a lot of smaller roles in bigger movies and made a career out of that, so it's interesting to star in a movie thats something new and different—I like a big, fun popcorn movie."
