Another Spider-Man spin-off from Sony is set to star Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny for its upcoming film El Muerto.
According to an update on Production List, filming is set to start on August 7 in Los Angeles, California.
While additional details remain closely held, Collider reports that the film will centre on the titular character who "receives superpowers after putting on a mysterious and mystical mask" and that El Muerto will likely serve as a standalone story.
Bad Bunny will play the titular hero, while additional casting announcements are likely to be revealed in the near future.
