Bad Bunny is one of the artists with the greatest global presence, a reason that Marvel and Sony tried to take advantage of by making him the protagonist of the film ‘The Dead’.
The character is one of Spiderman’s enemies, despite being little known, and his film announced in 2022 was expected to be released today, and here we tell you why this did not happen.
What happened to Bad Bunny’s ‘El Muerto’?
It was in 2022 when Sony announced ‘El Muerto’, a film that would function as a spin off of Spider-Man and would star the multi-award-winning musician Bad Bunny.
Likewise, it was announced that the director in charge of the project would be Jonas Cuarón, son of the renowned Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón, this information was given at the time by The Warp.
But, although everything seemed to be going well, the reality is that little by little ‘The Dead’ was running out of place in the cinema.
Problems with ‘The Dead’?
After announcing it, the problems began, since apparently the production was paused for a long time, even Bad Bunny joked about this situation.
When Time magazine asked Benito (Bad Bunny) about the film, they say he was surprised and said that it had not been filmed yet. Likewise, they add that his representative said that production was “stopped” to later rectify and ensure that it was “in development.”
After this ‘the bad rabbit limited himself to joking: “Maybe they will change me for Pedro Pascal.”
After this, Sony decided to postpone the project, but this time without giving a specific date, something that affected the participation of Bad Bunny, who ended up abandoning it.
Although it is reported that Sony has no intention of canceling the project, at least that is what some sources tell One Take News, despite the fact that it was initially born to be able to see Bad Bunny again in the cinema.
Who is The Dead?
His real name is Juan-Carlos Sanchez, the last member of a family of Latin fighters who have always fought under the name ‘El Muerto’. The black mask that has a skull placed on the forehead was passed down from generation to generation until Juan-Carlos refused to wear it.
