Bad Bunny (aka Benito Ocasio) will star as the Marvel character El Muerto – a wrestler with superhuman strength – in a new addition to Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU), the company announced overnight.Word of the film dropped during Sony’s panel at this year’s CinemaCon, with a tentative release date pencilled in for January 12, 2024.

Eggman (Jim Carrey) can use it for his diabolical plans. O’Shaughnessey spoke with TheWrap about the techniques she uses when she plays Tails, her hopes for more video game voice actors to get big screen opportunities, and what fans can expect from “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” which hits theaters this Friday.
