At CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, known as Bad Bunny, was announced as the new lead in the Sony Marvel film, El Muerto. “To bring El Muerto to life is just incredible .. so exciting,” the ‘Yo Perreo Sola’ rapper gushed.
The film will follow Juan-Carlos Estrada Sanchez, also known as El Muerto, who is a wrestler with powers that are passed down from generation to generation through a mask.
