Sony Pictures has set Jonás Cuarón as the director for El Muerto, which will star Bad Bunny, also known as Benito A Martínez Ocasio, Deadline reports.

Cuarón, the son of Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón, is known for the 2015 thriller film Desierto. El Muerto is in early development, and Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer is writing the script.

El Muerto is a character within Spider-Man’s universe, and the film would mark the first time a Latino character leads a Marvel live-action film. He is an antihero and the son of a luchador next in line to inherit the ancestral power of “El Muerto.”

“It’s amazing, it’s incredible,” Bad Bunny said earlier this year at Cinemacon about his involvement in El Muerto. “I love wrestling. I grew up watching wrestling, and I’m a wrestler. I’m a former champion, so this is why I love this character. I think it’s the perfect role to me, and it will be epic.”

Sony Pictures is expected to release El Muerto in theaters on January 12, 2024.

We got our first look at the Amazon Prime series Fallout during the series’ panel Saturday at CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil. Based on the video game series of the same name, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two-hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them. The cast is led by Ella Purnell as Lucy, Aaron Moten as Maximus, Walton Goggins as The Ghoul, and Kyle MacLachlan as Overseer Hank. The cast includes Moisés Arias, Sarita Choudhury, Michael Emerson, Leslie Uggams, Frances Turner, Dave Register, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton, Rodrigo Luzzi, Annabel O’Hagan and Xelia Mendes-Jones. Fallout will premiere on Amazon Prime Video April 12, 2024.

With Gen V already wrapped up, Amazon Prime is staring the push for The Boys season four with a new teaser trailer released first at at the comic event CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil on Saturday and now on-line. The new season is set to release in 2024 and features a world divided and on the brink. Victoria Neuman is on the verge of the White House and controlled by Homelander, who is pulling together his power while Butcher has lost everything. Now he must convince The Boys to work with him again before it’s too late. The Boys stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Cameron Crovetti.

The series is based on The New York Times best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, who also serve as executive producers.  

While most people are focused on one comment Disney CEO Bob Iger said at the New York Times business summit earlier this week, another comment is most likely the real reason The Marvels and other films aren’t doing as well at the box office. The headline catcher was Iger saying there wasn’t enough supervision on set, ″The Marvels was shot during Covid. There wasn’t as much supervision on the set, so to speak, where we have executives [that are] really looking over what’s being done day after day after day.” But the other thing he said is more likely the culprit as the moviegoing experience has changed since Covid and people aren’t just going to the movies to go to the movies, their going for specific films and they’re deciding to wait and watch some at home. “The experience of accessing [the films] and watching them in the home is better than it ever was. And [it’s] a bargain when you think about it. Streaming Disney+ you can get for $7 a month. That’s a lot cheaper than taking your whole family to a film. So, I think the bar is now raised in terms of quality about what gets people out of their homes, into movie theaters.” 

We haven’t even started season two of Reacher and Amazon Prime Video has already given the Alan Ritchson lead series a third season renewal. The series which will return on December 15th, features Ritchson in the title role as veteran military police investigator Jack Reacher, who receives a coded message that the members of his former U.S. Army unit, the 110th MP Special Investigations, are being mysteriously and brutally murdered one by one. Pulled from his drifter lifestyle, Reacher reunites with three of his former teammates turned chosen family to investigate, including Frances Neagley (Maria Sten); Karla Dixon (Serinda Swan), a forensic accountant; and fast-talking David O’Donnell (Shaun Sipos). Sten is the only other actor to return from season one. The series is based on Lee Child’s novels with the second season based on the 11th book in the series, Bad Luck and Trouble. Ritchson announced the renewal while at a panel at CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil where he also showed an extended trailer for season two.
