Bad Bunny will play El Muerto as the first Latino character to lead a Marvel live-action film

Some surprising movie news was announced during Sony’s panel at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. El Muerto is Sony’s newly announced Spider-Man Cinematic Universe movie and Bad Bunny is playing the superhero.

It’s surprising to long-time comic readers because the character has only appeared in a handful of stories. The character of El Muerto aka Juan Carlos is a super-powered wrestler who originally fought Spider-Man in a charity wrestling match. El Muerto would mark the first Latin superhero to get his own film in the universe of Marvel characters.

This will be the latest live-action Spider-Man spinoff movie that Sony has in development, following the release of two Venom movies and the recent Morbius movie. The studio currently has a Kraven the Hunter movie scheduled for January 13, 2023, and a Madame Web solo movie scheduled for July 7, 2023.


“It’s amazing. it’s incredible. I love wrestling. I grew up watching it and now I’m a wrestler. This is why I love this character. I think its the perfect role to me, it will be epic.”

— Bad Bunny

He’s quite enthusIastic about the role, plus he took part in WWE’s Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania last year.
