Bad Bunny has reportedly exited ‘EL MUERTO’

Bad Bunny has reportedly exited ‘EL MUERTO’ 

There‘s no plans to scrap the film yet, and the role will be recast by Sony.

Still, it’s a little strange given that Bad Bunny was the driving force behind Sony developing this specific Spider-Man spinoff film. He previously appeared in another Sony film, Bullet Train, and held his own in an action sequence with Brad Pitt. El Muerto is an obscure Spider-Man character, but one that Bad Bunny clearly had some belief in. The character is a professional wrestler who gains powers from his mask.

As for Bad Bunny, he’s coming off the release of his first solo single, “Where She Goes” and is one year removed from the “World’s Hottest” tour — the highest-grossing tour for a Latin artist ever.

El Muerto has hit yet another road bump as multiple sources tell One Take News Bad Bunny will no longer be starring in the project. Sources say that despite the musician’s exit, there are no plans to scrap the film yet and the role is currently being recast, although the writer’s strike may change those plans. It is also unknown if Bad Bunny will remain on board as an executive producer or not.

There is no current release date for El Muerto. The project has been delayed indefinitely.

The next movie in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe will be Kraven the Hunter, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson. It will premiere on October 6, 2023. Sources tell us that this shouldn’t come as a surprise. Bad Bunny is the world’s largest musician and combined with him touring as well as his commitments to the WWE, his schedule is extremely packed and is not made to accommodate a filming schedule for a major blockbuster pic. The writer’s strike also delayed the filming date. Pair that with rumblings that the star ruffled some feathers with Sony and it’s no surprise he’s not involved anymore.

For those not in the know, Bad Bunny is the entire reason El Muerto was developed in the first place. Sony execs were impressed by Bad Bunny’s performance in Bullet Train and wanted to create another project around him ASAP. After searching and searching, they settled upon the obscure character from the Spider-Man universe.
