Months after removing the film from its production schedule, the Spider-Man spin-off film from Sony – El Muerto – is not yet down and out.
Professional wrestling is basically built on the entertaining sequence of a performer seemingly being out for the count until the referee is just about to count to three.
You all know what happens next: they miraculously lift a shoulder, the bout goes on and the fans go wild. It’s an unending loop that has sustained pro wrestling for a century and making it so popular that Netflix recently shelled out $5bn for rights to WWE’s flagship Raw programme. That signalled a downgrade in its film division in favour of brightly-coloured spandex and theatrical entrances.
In short, pro wrestling is a potential goldmine and one that Sony seems intent on exploring with El Muerto, a Spider-Man spin-off film that we all thought the studio had abandoned.

'El Muerto' is reportedly back in development without Bad Bunny.Sony is said to have quietly resumed work on the upcoming comic book blockbuster - which follows the story of a superman luchador - but the musician and occasional WWE superstar won't be playing the masked wrestling hero.As reported by Variety, script revisions and Bad Bunny's tour dates mean the movie is in development without its former leading man.There had been delays due to the writers and actors strikes in Hollywood, which meant the film lost its place in the release calendar.Last year, Bunny - whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio - was asked about the status of the film, and described the situation as "delicate" to Vanity Fair.He added: "I don't know what to say."A publicist later told the outlet he was no longer on board with the project.

The concept of expanding Sony’s Spider-Man universe originated in 2013, intending to introduce spin-off films, notably one featuring Venom after ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2.’ Disheartened by the film’s reception, Sony abandoned these plans, entering a collaboration with Marvel Studios in 2015, integrating Spider-Man into the MCU.
Despite mixed-to-negative reviews for Ssu movies like Morbius, the universe persisted, with various live-action and animated projects in development, exploring both Spider-Man’s supporting characters and villains. Rumors now suggest two additional projects focusing on Doc Ock and Mysterio, as reported by Caiden Reed on X.

The idea of an expanded Sony’s Spider-Man universe began in 2013, with plans to launch spin-off films, including one centered on Venom, following ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2.’ However, due to the film’s disappointment, Sony abandoned these plans and collaborated with Marvel Studios in 2015, and since then, Spider-Man has been one of the main characters in MCU.
However, despite Ssu movies generally receiving mixed to bad reviews (looking at your Morbius), the Ssu continued and now has plenty of live-action and animated projects in development focusing both on Spider-Man’s supporting character and his villains. If rumors are to be believed, two more projects can be added to that slate projects, focusing on Dock Ock and Mysterio, as stated by Caiden Reed on X.

Fans of the hit series “The Boys” have something exciting to look forward to. A new spinoff titled “The Boys: Mexico” is in the making, and it’s got some big names attached to it. Written by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, known for his work on “Blue Beetle” and Sony’s upcoming “El Muerto,” this series promises to expand the universe of “The Boys” in new and exciting ways.
According to Deadline, the project is still in its early stages, with casting underway and the search for a co-showrunner to work alongside Dunnet-Alcocer. What’s really stirring up interest is the involvement of Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal, both of whom are set to executive produce. There’s also a buzz that they might even step in front of the camera for supporting roles.

Sony has silently taken off El Muerto from the January 2024 release schedule. Now, this was likely due to the writer’s strike, which is having a huge impact on the industry as a whole. There’s no telling how long the strike will last, but studios like Sony and Marvel are having their release dates ruffled because of this movement. However, could this be a blessing in disguise for Sony? The Sony spin-offs aren’t exactly off to a great start. Financially speaking, Venom tracked extremely well. Critically, the franchise is faltering due to the lack of Spider-Man. Same thing with Morbius.

While there seems to be a big debate raging this year about superhero fatigue and the decline of Marvel Studios, Sony has quite a few new superhero films ready to go over the next year or so. You have to imagine the studio is desperately hoping superhero fatigue will take a break in 2024. We’ve already seen the trailer for “Kraven the Hunter,” and now, we have yet another Sony superhero film, “Madame Web.”

They say, if you’ve got it, flaunt it. And this week, Saturday Night Live had Pedro Pascal handy, so what else are you going to do with him? Flaunt him, obviously, along with guest host Bad Bunny in Pascal’s first recurring character sketch.
This is Pascal’s second appearance as the overprotective mother of Marcello Hernandez’s Luis. Despite some objections to a possibly offensive stereotype (Hernandez is one of the credited writers of the sketch and based the character on his own mother), SNL chose to double down and give us a mamá and a tía – played,...

Coachella headliner Bad Bunny has announced his 2024 “Most Wanted” tour on Instagram, a week after the release of his fifth solo album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana.
Capping a big month, he’s also hosting and is musical guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend.
In the Instagram video announcement, a lucha libre-masked Bad Bunny appears on horseback. He comes to a wall plastered with “most wanted” signs bearing his image. He crumples the poster and tosses it away as ticket information pops up.
The tour will have 31 shows in the U.S. out of a total of 47. The first stop will be on Feb. 21, 2024, in Salt Lake City. He will play at the Crypto.com Arena for three nights, March 13-15, and a similar multiple on April 11-13 in New York.
Bad Bunny’s film plans have been put on hold by Sony/Columbia Pictures because of the tour.

Audiences watching Roger Ross Williams’ latest feature “Cassandro” might be surprised by one of the faces they see: that of musician Bad Bunny. The singer turned actor stars as Felipe, a friend and associate “exotico” wrestler Cassandro (Gael Garcia Bernal) meets. The film follows Cassandro’s journey of finding self-acceptance through a larger-than-life character.
“I remember the producers came to me and said, ‘Bad Bunny wants to be in the film.’ I almost fell off my chair,” Williams told TheWrap. According to the director, he auditioned several actors for the character of Felipe and had actually come down to the final group of contenders. “We screen tested a Felipe and the guy was about to get the call,” he said. That is until Bad Bunny’s people reached out.

Last year, somewhat surprisingly, Sony announced plans to make a ‘Spider-Man’ spinoff film focused on the unknown villain, El Muerto. This was shocking for a number of reasons. Mostly, even the diehard Marvel Comics fans were scratching their heads wondering who El Muerto is. But also, the film was expected to star Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio aka Bad Bunny, a pop star who has only recently dabbled in acting.

Ring the bell and make the count because Bad Bunny is tapping out of Sony and Marvel’s El Muerto, a superhero project the studio recently stripped from its calendar of upcoming releases. Sony Pictures removed El Muerto from its forthcoming slate in June. The Jonas Cuarón-directed Spider-Man spinoff would have served as the first time to feature a Latino character in the lead.
Speaking with Vanity Fair, Bad Bunny and his publicist Sujeylee Solá said plans to star in El Muerto look grim. Bunny, whose real name is Benito Martínez Ocasio, fell silent when asked about the film’s removal from Sony’s schedule. After a prolonged silence, Solá said, “Next question.” Martínez added, “I don’t know what to say,” saying the issue is “delicate.” Solá quickly pinned the conversation by saying, “Obviously, it’s out,” referring to Martínez’s involvement with the spinoff.

Earlier this week, Sony dropped its first trailer for its next “Spider-Man” spinoff, “Kraven The Hunter,” which hits theaters this October. That film was supposed to be the first of three Spidey spinoffs in the next year, the other two being “El Muerto” and “Madame Web,” both set for early 2024 releases. But thanks to the WGA writers’ strike, and a busy touring schedule for leading man Bad Bunny, Sony has nixed “El Muerto” from its release calendar.

Bad Bunny's superhero turn has been delayed. Back in April 2022, Sony announced that the rapper, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, had been cast in the lead role in Marvel's upcoming film "El Muerto." The movie was originally set to hit theaters in January 2024 and will mark the first time a Latinx actor will headline their own live-action Marvel film.
However, on June 22 Deadline reported that Sony had pulled the film from its release date schedule. That doesn't mean it's not coming eventually, though. The outlet said Bad Bunny's tour schedule and the WGA strike was the cause of the release delay. Popsugar reached out to Sony for confirmation but did not immediately receive a response.
Eventually, Bad Bunny will be taking on the role of a famous wrestler in the Spider-Man universe known as El Muerto, which is Spanish for "the dead one." Sony shared the exciting news at 2022 CinemaCon,...

Even as Sony looks to the likes of Kraven The Hunter as the future of its Spider-Man-based spin-off universe, it is having to pump the brakes on others. The studio has announced it is taking the Bad Bunny-starring El Muerto off its release schedule.
The reason? Chalk up another film impacted by the ongoing writers' strike, plus complications from its musician star's touring schedule.
El Muerto debuted in a 2006 issue of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, written by Peter David, and illustrated by Roger Cruz. The character, real name Juan Carlos, was a super powered wrestler who originally fought Spider-Man in a charity wrestling where he nearly unmasked the hero before being stung by Spider-Man, with a paralyzing poison. After being saved from the hospital by the web-spinner when Muerto’s oppressor El Dorado came to claim the wrestler’s life, the two would team up to defeat Dorado.

We had learned back in April of last year that music superstar Bad Bunny would be starring as Marvel Comics character El Muerto in a solo movie for Sony, a role that was hand-picked by Bad Bunny himself. THR brings us an update on the project this afternoon, revealing that Sony has now removed the planned upcoming movie from its current release schedule.
THR reports, “The feature project, which had Jonás Cuarón, the son of filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón, in the director’s chair, was slated for a Jan. 12, 2024 release date but Sony announced Wednesday that it had taken the title off its release schedule.”
Cited in the report, Bad Bunny’s touring schedule and the ongoing WGA Strike are likely the main reasons why Sony has put a stop to El Muerto pre-production at this time.

With “John Wick: Chapter 4” arriving on Blu-ray and DVD, director Chad Stahelski is continuing his press tour mission to get the Academy to create a new Oscar category honoring stunts. This was a core facet of the film’s theatrical press tour, and it has apparently born fruit.
Speaking with ComicBookMovie.com, the filmmaker behind the fourth Keanu Reeves-starring actioner stated that there have been serious talks within the Academy about potentially righting this arguable wrong. While he noted that no one at the Academy had previously sat down and talked it out, that’s changed just in the last few months.

Sony has removed “El Muerto,” a Marvel movie about a luchador supervillain starring Bad Bunny, from its theatrical-release calendar. The “Spider-Man” baddie’s standalone film was previously scheduled for January 12, 2024; now, per Sony, it’s “Tbd.”
An individual with knowledge of the project told IndieWire that “El Muerto” is still in development, but with the writers strike ongoing and the musician’s tour dates, rescheduling the release is complicated. “El Muerto” isn’t the first superhero movie to be impacted by the WGA strike, but there are enough challenges here to wonder if “El Muerto” will be re-slotted, or if it’s down for the count.
This morning, Sony emailed press with three updates to its domestic release calendar:
Seth Rogen’s “Dumb Money” has been moved up from October 20, 2023 to September 22, 2023. “The Book of Clarence” is being pushed back from that September 22 date to January 12, 2024. The “El Muerto” release date is now considered “Tbd.

Sony is placing Bad Bunny’s Marvel film, El Muerto, in a headlock. The studio is pulling the Spider-Man Universe movie from its release schedule, painting a grim picture of what is supposed to be the first live-action Marvel film led by a Latino character.

“El Muerto,” part of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (as it is now known) and starring international music sensation Bad Bunny as a somewhat obscure character, has been removed from the studio’s upcoming release calendar. The movie, which is scheduled to be directed by Jonás Cuarón, was originally scheduled to be released on Jan. 12, 2024.

Updated with more details: Sony Pictures said Wednesday that it has removed from its release date schedule El Muerto, the Bad Bunny-starring Spider-Man spinoff movie being directed by Jonas Cuarón. The Columbia Pictures film is set to be the first time a Latino character leads a Marvel live-action film.
Sony and Marvel set Cuarón to direct El Muerto in October. At the time it was in early development, with Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer writing the script about El Muerto, a character within Spider-Man’s universe. In Marvel lore, he is an antihero and the son of a luchador next in line to inherit the ancestral power of “El Muerto.”
We’re hearing that the film remains in development, but that between Bad Bunny’s tour schedule and the ongoing WGA strike it makes finalizing a date complicated.

Sony’s “El Muerto,” a superhero spinoff starring Bad Bunny, no longer has a release date.
The film, originally scheduled for Jan. 12, 2024, has been removed from the studio’s calendar. As part of the announcement, Sony shifted around the dates for “Dumb Money,” inspired by the GameStop sock frenzy, which will open on Sept. 22 instead of Oct. 20; as well as the Lakeith Stanfield-led biblical epic “The Book of Clarence,” which took the place of “El Muerto” after moving from Sept. 22 to the mid-January slot.
“El Muerto,” set in Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters, is the studio’s first live-action superhero movie to star a Latino actor.

The film, originally scheduled for Jan. 12, 2024, has been removed from the studio’s calendar. As part of the announcement, Sony shifted around the dates for “Dumb Money,” inspired by the GameStop sock frenzy, which will open on Sept. 22 instead of Oct. 20; as well as the Lakeith Stanfield-led biblical epic “The Book of Clarence,” which took the place of “El Muerto” after moving from Sept. 22 to the mid-January slot.
“El Muerto,” set in Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters, is the studio’s first live-action superhero movie to star a Latino actor. Known in the comics as Juan-Carlos Estrada Sanchez, El Muerto is a wrestler whose superhuman powers stem from a special mask that’s been passed down through generations.

Lest you forget, Sony has it’s very own Marvel Universe (known as Sony’s Spider-Man Universe) and they have a full slate of projects on the horizon. The studio announced that they have has put their flag on dates for two untitled Sony/Marvel movies — November 8, 2024 and June 27, 2025.
Now, what could these mysterious new Sony Marvel movies be? There’s plenty of speculation out there, but a good bet for the November 8, 2024 date would be Venom 3. Variety recently claimed that the Venom sequel was aiming to hit theaters sometime in October 2024, so the November date would still fit in that window. As for the June 27, 2025 date, that places it smack in the middle of the summer blockbuster season. Some have guessed that it could be the next Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland. The actor recently told THR that he has had meetings with Marvel and Sony executives...

Even if you know going in that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s story will conclude in a later movie, it’s still frustrating when those end credits roll. When we leave Miles Morales at the end of the film, he has discovered that he was never supposed to be a Spidey. He’s an outlier in the grand Marvel multiverse, having been bitten by a radioactive spider from another universe. As a result, that universe (Earth-42) went on to have no Spider-Man at all, and its own Miles turned into The Prowler, perhaps due to his close relationship with Uncle Aaron.
As Spider-Man 2099 aka Miguel O’Hara and his Spider Society hunt Miles down to make sure he doesn’t disrupt any more canon events, Gwen Stacy puts together a team to back Miles up that includes some of his old pals,...

Craving answers about “Kraven the Hunter”? Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s got one very important bit of information for you: “Fuck yes, it’s gonna be rated R,” he said (from afar) during Sony’s presentation Monday night at CinemaCon 2023.
That prerecorded video set the tone for the very, very bloody first footage, which Sony rolled to the riled-up attendees — movie theater owners, mostly — at the Caesar’s Palace Colosseum in Las Vegas. What we got wasn’t technically a trailer, we were told: Sony executive Sanford Panitch said the full “Kraven” trailer will be released in theaters this summer.
The teaser (let’s call it) ended with the reveal of the film’s baddie, the classic Spider-Man villain The Rhino; the audience seemed to dig that.
“Kraven the Hunter,” based on the Marvel Comics, is Sony’s first-ever R-rated Marvel movie.

Much remains mysterious about the upcoming "Agatha: Coven of Chaos," one of several Marvel Cinematic Universe shows currently in production for Disney+. What we know for sure is that Kathryn Hahn's Agatha Harkness will headline the series after making her debut in 2021's "WandaVision." Beyond that? Little has been revealed. However, cast member Patti LuPone has pulled back the curtain just a bit, revealing that she's playing a very obscure character from the pages of Marvel Comics (though that character's history may be telling in some ways).
LuPone recently stopped by "The View" and talked a bit to the hosts about her role in the series. Per Entertainment Weekly, LuPone revealed that she's playing a witch named Lilia Calderu who does, indeed, have a history in the comics, though Marvel fans would be forgiven for not knowing who she is (we'll get to that in a moment). Here's what...

Ready to fall in love with a cuddly little Chupacabra? Because you will if you watch Netflix’s new film “Chupa.”
“Chupa” stars Evan Whitten as Alex, a kid living in the United States whose mom sends him to visit his grandfather (Demián Bichir) in Mexico for spring break. (This is in the early 1990s.) While in Mexico, he befriends a Chupacabra – an ancient creature from Mexican folklore, who he dubs Chupa. Together, he and his cousins hide Chupa and outwit a nefarious operative trying to capture the creature for use in the biomedical field and attempt to return Chupa to his family.
It’s a terrific little movie, clearly indebted to the Amblin movies of the 1980s and early 1990s, with some fun performances and an absolutely adorable creature in Chupa.

The thing with the Spumc – the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters – is that, while it may not always be pretty, it’s nothing if not unpredictable. One minute you’re scratching your head as you Google a Z-lister comic book deep-cut called El Muerto), the black-and-white, Nazi-fighting, egg-cream-drinking riff on everybody’s favourite Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man is set to star in his own series over at Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service.
Unconnected to the version of the character we met in Into The Spider-Verse (so no Nicolas Cage_ threequel.
Despite mixed results for Sony’s Spiderverse thus far, with over 900 Marvel characters at the studio’s disposal, there remains massive potential for exciting stories to be told with the kinds of characters who wouldn’t otherwise fit into, say, an MCU. So, although we’ve been burned before, we’re still very excited to see more web slinging...

Sam Spade, meet Spider-Man.
IndieWire can confirm that a Spider-Man Noir live-action series is currently in the works at Amazon Prime Video, developed and executive produced by “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The duo collaborate again with “22 Jump Street” scribe Oren Uziel, who co-developed and also EPs the upcoming series. Variety first reported the news.
Uziel most recently penned “The Lost City,” starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, as well as “John Wick 4,” “Mortal Kombat,” and “The Cloverfield Paradox.”

Bad Bunny, aka El Conejo Malo, took to the 2023 Grammys stage on Sunday night, where his Un Verano Sin Ti made history as the first Latin album to be nominated for album of the year. The release was 2022’s most-listened-to album.
The artist opened the show with a Un Verano Sin Ti mashup of tracks “El Apagon” and “Despues de la Playa,” with a brass section and conga drummers. The musician danced through the tables on the floor, before making his way to a circular, lit stage in at the front of the room.
The artist, whose full name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has taken home two Grammys in the past: one for best música urbana album for El Último Tour Del Mundo and his first one for best Latin pop or urban album for Yhlqmdlg.
