El Muerto, also known as Juan-Carlos Sanchez, is a wrestler with superhuman strength. You can associate him with the charity fight that he had with Spider-Man , during which he almost took off his mask. Only a paralyzing poison kept him from doing so. Later, the two collaborated to get El Muerto’s enemy Dorado. The strong man only appeared in two comics.
On Monday, at CinemaCon 2022, Sony announced that it had started working on a movie about this interesting hero. It is already known that the rapper Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio) will play his role. He is not just a music artist as he has participated in many wrestling fights since 2021. In addition, he already has acting experience. He can be seen in Narcos: Mexico and in Fast and Furious 9 , as well as in the upcoming Bullet Train , a different movie from Sony.
During the speech, during which information about the new production was shared, the president of Sony Motion Picture Group – Sanford Panitch spoke:
Sometimes we are lucky and have a perfect casting. We think viewers will be excited to see which direction the Marvel characters are moving in.
He then added a few words about developing characters related to Spider-Man:
It’s difficult because I think these projects are some of the ones that you work on in the dark. They are not ready until they are fully finalized. “Kraven” is a perfect example of them, because we just took our time with him. We could have made it three or more years ago. But now the script is great.
