El Muerto is an upcoming Spider-Man spin-off film produced by Sony Pictures and starring the Puerto Rican rap sensation Bad Bunny. However, the project has lost its release date.
Fans were perplexed when it was announced that Sony Pictures would create a movie based on the Spider-Man villain El Muerto, a magical luchador who appeared in less than a dozen issues over the entire history of Marvel publications. Funnily enough, casting Bad Bunny as the film’s star, a rapper whose only acting credit lacked any actual dialogue, makes the most sense given his love of wrestling. However, this controversial film has now lost its January 12, 2024 release date.
This doesn’t mean El Muerto is cancelled. It’s very possible Sony is simply delaying the project due to issues like the WGA writer’s strike. However given projects like Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse and Venom 3 continue to hold their slots for next year, its possible Sony is reconsidering their plans for the Bad Bunny film.
