Rapper Bad Bunny has recently shared his reaction to being cast as the new Sony Spider-Man Universe character, El Muerto, for the upcoming solo movie. The character of El Muerto was first introduced to fans through the comic book world with his debut appearance in 2006’s Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man No.6.

Created by Peter David and Roger Cruz, El Muerto was made with the intention of him being the ultimate villain for Spider-Man to go up against. He receives his superhuman abilities by wearing an ominous mask that has been passed down through the generations within his family.
