The reggaeton star was going to be part of the cast of the Sony Pictures film. It was a Spider-Man spin-off about a Marvel Comics fighter. However, plans changed and the project was cancelled.
Bad Bunny, the megastar of the urban genre, was Sony Pictures’ master plan for what would be its next film, “El Muerto,” a spin-off of Spider-Man (Marvel Comics) about the life of a fighter who obtains superpowers. of his mask. However, the project disappeared from the film production company’s calendar and will no longer be a January 2024 release.
In style, the plan to bring to life Juan Carlos Estrada Sánchez, a Mexican wrestler who obtains his powers from a mask he inherited from his family, vanished. Although the producer never confirmed what the film was about, it is known from Marvel Comics that the character is a powerful fighter with great skills. Bad Bunny had been chosen to be part of history.
“Is incredible. I love wrestling. (…) I grew up watching him (the superhero) and now I am a fighter. That’s why I love this character. I think he is the perfect role for me. It will be epic,” Bad Bunny told Entertainment Weekly last year, when news of his starring role in the film had just arrived. Months later, an important change of attitude on the part of the actor and music producer was seen in the Vanity Fair interview. “As a movie consumer, I’m not one to watch a lot of action movies. I would even say that it is the genre that I like the least,” the singer had to accept after Sony Pictures’ decision.
“I don’t know what to say,” Bad Buny responded to the journalist about the “delicate” issue of the cancellation of “El Muerto,” while his representative Sujeylee Solá confirmed that “obviously (the film) no longer exists.” Like the musical megastar, the director who would be in charge of the project, Jonas Cuarón, son of Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón, was also removed.
“Madame Webb,” which just opened in theaters, and “Kraven the Hunter” are the only releases on Sony Pictures’ calendar this year. The second still does not have a trailer and a confirmed release date. In fact, the firm makes an important cancellation decision after the premieres with low audience and critical scores in previous years, such as “Venom” and “Morbius.”
