Jared Harris Acted in ‘Morbius’ Flop Because ‘I’ve Got a Mortgage to Pay’ and ‘Sometimes You Say Yes to Things Because You Need to Make Money’

> “I have got a mortgage to pay, you know,” Harris told Britain’s i newspaper when asked about signing on to “Morbius.” “Sometimes you say yes to things because you need to make money.”

> When asked what went wrong with the film, Harris responded: “I have observed that those types of films do well if you have a sense of humor. You can’t treat it as though it’s Shakespeare. So yeah, that movie could have done with a more mischievous sense of humor.”

> “Yeah, it was thrown under the bus,” Smith told Rolling Stone UK last year about “Morbius” tanking. “But you just have to roll with it. What else are you gonna do? It’s a film, at the end of the day, we’re not saving lives. For whatever reason, it didn’t quite work out and… It is what it is.”
