Marvel’s El Muerto movie still in the works at Sony

January 31, 2024 by EJ Moreno

Sony Pictures is not giving up bringing its luchador superhero to the big screen, with El Muerto still in active development.

In a new piece looking at Madame Web and Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, Variety notes that the studio has quietly resumed the development process with the studio in the hunt for a new lead.

Bad Bunny was previously set for the role, but delays from the SAG-AFTRA strike as well as Bad Bunny’s touring and recording schedule. The rapper/singer was a massive pick for the studio, given his popularity and his experience working with WWE as a professional wrestler.

El Muerto follows a wrestler with superpowers passed down from generation to generation in a single family. Originally from the Spider-Man comics, the character is an antihero and the son of a luchador, or Mexican wrestler, and next in line to inherit the ancestral power of El Muerto.

At the last time of report, Jonás Cuarón, the son of Alfonso Cuarón, is attached to the project as director, while Gareth Dunnet Alcocer (Blue Beetle) had penned the script.
