Sony continues to expand the universe of Spider-Man and we tell you everything that is known about El Muerto, the arrival of Bad Bunny at the comics, Here!
Some years ago sony confirmed that he is putting together his own universe of movies of spider-man taking advantage of the rights he has of the superhero and his characters. In those plans, the company announced El Muerto, a film based on a Mexican wrestler who faces Peter Parker that will be part of the Sony Spider-Man Universe (SSU) and the protagonist will be the singer Bad Bunnywho appeared on the stage of the exclusive event of sony in October last year to confirm their participation in the SSU.
The singer will play Juan Carlos Sanchezbetter known as The deadone of the darkest antagonists of the comics of spider-man. This fighter inherits superpowers when he wears his family’s ancestral mask and decides to use these to exact revenge. But different from Morbius and venom, The dead he was a kind of partner of the superhero and they even spent time together, even if it was little. The counterpart of this character is The Goldenwho proclaims himself the “god of fight” and the story of these comics has a lot of potential.
The director of this adaptation is Jonas Cuaronwho has no experience with movies in the superhero genre but worked on big projects like Desert and z. Together with his father, Alfonso Cuaron, wrote the winning film oscar, gravity. Considering the success of his three biggest titles, it’s going to be interesting to see what direction he takes when he gets behind the scenes to The dead.
Currently, this movie is one of the villains of the universe of sony which is happening faster. This is because the singer wanted to quickly become a superhero and got sony I gave the script the green light. Although the company’s decision was finalized when they saw Bad Bunny in Bullet Train as The Wolfas it gave them a positive image of the singer as an actor.
The dead It already has a release date and this is the January 12, 2024. The project is between two other titles, which are Kraven the Hunter that arrives in november this year and Madame Web which will be released in February 2024. With these dates so close, many speculate that the three installments are going to be related and considering that they are part of the SSU They are probably connected in some way.
However, we don’t have to be so confident with the release date that it has The deadsince there were no photos from the set or promotional images, as happened with Madame Web. So you have to be careful if sony change the date or surprise us with a delivery that did not suffer any leak.
As for the cast, the only one confirmed at the moment is Bad Bunny. Some of the characters that could appear are J. Jonah Jamesonwith the possible return of JK Simmons, and spider-manwhich could be interpreted by any of the three variants we already know (Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield either Toby Maguire). However, the character that has to appear regardless of the story is The Goldenthe nemesis of The dead.
Considering that the details about the movie are very few, there is no confirmation of the plot or when the first trailer will be released. But if you decide to follow the comics, we have an interesting origin story that could show us how The dead decides to take revenge against The Golden after the latter killed his father in a fight. If we take into account when the advances of the movies of sonywe could speculate that we will see the first preview of The dead four months before its launch, that is, in October of this year. But we’ll have to wait until sony say something about the project so that we can be sure that it will indeed arrive in January of next year.
