Chart-topping rapper Dangerous Bunny confirms he’s now not starring within the Spider-Man spinoff El Muerto from Sony Photos.
Ring the bell and make the depend as a result of Dangerous Bunny is tapping out of Sony and Marvel’s El Muerto, a superhero challenge the studio just lately stripped from its calendar of upcoming releases. Sony Photos eliminated El Muerto from its forthcoming slate in June. The Jonas Cuarón-directed Spider-Man spinoff would have served as the primary time to characteristic a Latino character within the lead.
Talking with Self-importance Honest, Dangerous Bunny and his publicist Sujeylee Solá stated plans to star in El Muerto look grim. Bunny, whose actual title is Benito Martínez Ocasio, fell silent when requested in regards to the movie’s removing from Sony’s schedule. After a protracted silence, Solá stated, “Subsequent query.” Martínez added, “I don’t know what to say,” saying the difficulty is “delicate.” Solá shortly pinned the dialog by saying, “Clearly, it’s out,” referring to Martínez’s involvement with the spinoff.
Martínez is clearly bummed about bailing on Marvel’s El Muerto. When Sony introduced his casting in April of 2022, the chart-topping rapper stated, “To carry El Muerto to life is simply unimaginable .. so thrilling!” Martínez grew up watching wrestling and was desperate to bulk up for the position. With El Muerto in limbo and the way forward for Sony’s Spider-Verse unsure, it’s finest for Bunny to hop on different alternatives.
El Muerto, aka Juan-Carlos Sánchez, was a super-powered wrestler who initially fought Spider-Man in a charity wrestling match the place he almost unmasked Spider-Man earlier than being by chance stung by the frightened web-crawler with a paralyzing poison. After being saved from the hospital by Spider-Man, Sanchez’s oppressor, El Dorado, got here to assert his life. Figuring out his life was in peril, Spider-Man and Sánchez joined forces to defeat Dorado.
Juan-Carlos Sánchez is the son of a luchador who inherits the ancestral energy of “El Muerto.” The character’s skills reside in his wrestling masks, although Sanchez additionally brings his model of antiheroism to the squared circle.
What do you concentrate on Dangerous Bunny bowing out of El Muerto? Are Sony Photos dropping plans for the Spider-Man spinoff altogether? This information actually seems like one other nail within the coffin for this obscure Marvel challenge, and I can’t assist however marvel if it’s solely a matter of time earlier than the studio formally scraps the movie.
