Last year, it was announced that rapper Bad Bunny had been tapped to star in El Muerto, one of the movies in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, The decision to give this character his own spinoff was peculiar considering he’d literally only appeared twice in the comics, but it does provide another opportunity for Bad Bunny to show off his acting chops following his performance in Bullet Train. Now some more specific details about El Muerto have finally come to light, but it comes in the midst of some bad news.
Let’s start off on a more positive note first. According to THR, until recently, Sony Pictures was looking over actors to star opposite Bad Bunny in El Muerto. Professional wrester Sasha Banks, whom Star Wars fans know for playing Koska Reeves in The Mandalorian Seasons 2 and 3, was being circled for a role, while Marvin Jones III, a.k.a. Krondon, who starred as Tobias Whale for all four seasons of Black Lightning, would play Tombstone. The latter is particularly notable since Krondon previously voiced Tombstone in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
