“Sometimes we get lucky with perfect casting,” Sony Motion Picture Group president Sanford Panitch said during the appearance. “We think audiences are going to be excited by where these marvel characters are headed.”
Bad Bunny’s filmography includes F9 and Narcos: Mexico, as well as the upcoming Sony film Bullet Train. He has participated in multiple high-profile wrestling matches since 2021, winning his debut WWE match at WrestleMania 37.
This will be the latest live-action Spider-Man spinoff movie that Sony has in development, following the release of two Venom movies and the recent Morbius movie. The studio currently has a Kraven the Hunter movie scheduled for January 13, 2023, and a Madame Web solo movie scheduled for July 7, 2023.
“It’s tough, because I think these projects are the kind of things we have to work on in the dark,” Panitch, previously said of developing these Spider-Man-related projects. “They’re not ready until they’re ready. Kraven is a great example because we just didn’t rush it. We could have made that three-plus years ago. It’s just now the script’s awesome, J.C. was the right choice, and we found the movie star because it was just kismet, and watching this other movie [Bullet Train] and realizing that [Taylor-Johnson] could be the perfect casting.”
