Makuochi Echebiri is a writer at Collider who focuses on television, classic movies, epics, superhero movies and sprinkling of horror.
His Marvel casting as El Muerto might have fallen through, but Grammy-winning music star Bad Bunny is not stepping away from acting anytime soon. Per Deadline, the Puerto Rican multihyphenate has been cast in Darren Aronosfky's anticipated next project, Caught Stealing.
Adapted from the best-selling novel by Charlie Huston, Caught Stealing will center on Hank Thompson , a burned-out retired baseball player working as a bartender in a crime-ridden neighborhood in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Hank unwittingly finds himself in hot water with some bad guys after a heated brawl with them at the bar.
So far, only Butler's protagonist role has been revealed with other character details, including Bunny's, being kept under wraps. However, for a feature that Aronofsky has teased will be action-heavy, audiences can expect to see much of the WWE star's punch-throwing skills. Bunny's fighting abilities have practically paved the way for him in Hollywood as his most recent film role in the biographical drama, Cassandro saw him play famed Mexican wrestler, El Hijo del Santo.
How Many Movies Has Bad Bunny Acted In? Close Caught Stealing will mark Bunny's fourth film role, a position that could have gone to his Marvel debut El Muerto had he not parted ways with Marvel due to issues stemming from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. El Muerto will, however, continue without Bunny as Marvel seems determined to make its first Latino-led film.
Bad Bunny made his film debut in Justin Lin's action-comedy, F9 in 2021, the same year he appeared in the Netflix series, Narcos: Mexico. His next film role saw him as a part of a huge ensemble in Sony's Bullet Train, the David Leitch-directed feature that co-starred Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, among others.
