Bad Bunny (aka Benito Ocasio) will star as the Marvel character El Muerto – a wrestler with superhuman strength – in a new addition to Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU), the company announced overnight.Word of the film dropped during Sony’s panel at this year’s CinemaCon, with a tentative release date pencilled in for January 12, 2024.

It’ll be the fifth film in the SSU – a shared universe of characters related to Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise, for which Sony owns the rights – following the two Venom films and Morbius, as well as Kraven The Hunter (due to hit screens on January 13, 2023) and Madame Web (July 7, 2023).According to Deadline, Ocasio landed the role of El Muerto (aka Juan-Carlos Sanchez) after Sony executives saw footage of the rapper in Bullet Train, in which he stars as an assassin named Wolf.A similar situation led to Aaron Taylor-Johnson – who stars in Bullet Train as an assassin named Tangerine – being cast for the titular role in Kraven The Hunter.

Bullet Train is due to hit cinemas on July 29 via Sony.Ocasio appeared onstage for Sony’s announcement of El Muerto, though because of strict rules pertaining to leaks, details of his appearance are yet to emerge online.The character itself first appeared in Issue Six of the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man comic, released in May 2006.

Initially hesitant to take up the mantle of El Muerto, a wrestling persona passed down through generations of his family, Sanchez eventually donned the mask – which gives him heightened strength and endurance – and challenged Spider-Man to a charity match.Spider-Man almost killed El Muerto by accidentally poisoning him, but the pair would soon team up to battle the villain El Dorado.
