Common wisdom suggests learning from mistakes. Sony Pictures recently released Morbius starring Jared Leto in the lead role. The film was a complete fiasco as it was brutally rejected by critics and audiences alike.
Some fans even suggested that Sony Pictures should hand over their Marvel projects to Disney as they will take much better care. But they are in no mood of slowing down and they have announced a new movie called El Muerto.
For those who are unaware Muerto in Spanish means dead. Thus El Muerto translates into “The Dead”.
The film starring “Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio” or simply “Bad Bunny” has been announced. The film was announced by the Sony Motion Pictures Group president at CinemaCon.
Bad Bunny will be the first Latina actor to headline a full-fledged Marvel project.
Talking about the character of El Muerto, he goes by the name of Juan Carlos Estrada Sanchez and is professionally a wrestler. His superhuman strength lies in a mask which is ancestral. In one of the events described in comics, he got into a ring fight with Spider-Man himself.
Apart from the already known Spider-Man projects by Sony, Dakota Johnson’s Madame Web, Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven The Hunter is also in the process of making.
El Muerto will hit the theatres on January 12th 2024.
