Sony Pictures has cast Puerto Rican reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny as El Muerto, the first Latinx superhero to lead a live-action Marvel film. But some Marvel fans are skeptical of the studio giant's approach to the project.
The Los Angeles Times confirmed Tuesday that the beloved Latin trap artist and wrestling aficionado will play Juan-Carlos Estrada Sanchez, a.k.a. El Muerto, a masked Mexican wrestler who inherits superhuman strength from his powerful ancestors. His casting was announced Monday at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
"It's amazing. It's incredible. I love wrestling. I grew up watching it, and now I'm a wrestler," Bad Bunny told the CinemaCon crowd, according to Entertainment Weekly.
