By Omotayo Olutekunbi
Their upcoming film El Muerto will include Bad Bunny. This is the first time a Latino actor to take the lead in a Marvel movie.
El Muerto, also known as Juan Carlos, is a Spider-Man antagonist. He’s a superpowered Mexican wrestler whose power is handed down through the generations via a luchador mask, according to Marvel’s official comic biography. When his father hands him the ancestral mask, their “oppressor,” El Dorado, challenges Juan Carlos to earn it. El Dorado offers Juan Carlos 10 years to develop the courage to fight for his birthright after his father sacrifices himself for him as a youngster.
El Muerto approaches J. Jonah Jameson after ten years and requests that he arrange a fight with another masked warrior. Jameson sets up a battle with Spider-Man, and it’s a nail-biter. Spidey stabs El Muerto and quits the battle to take him to the hospital when El Muerto is about to unmask Spider-Man.
These information pertain to the character in the comic book. The film’s narrative has yet to be revealed, however it has been given a release date: January 12, 2024.
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martnez Ocasio, is a Puerto Rican rapper and producer who has been a fan of wrestling since he was a child. He has appeared in a number of WWE events as both a singer and a wrestler.
F9 and Narcos: Mexico both featured Bad Bunny. In Sony’s next film Bullet Train, he will next be seen.
