Major Setback for Sony's Spider-Man Universe: Highly-Anticipated 2024 Release Date Cancelled!
A Sony Spider-Man spinoff movie, El Muerto, faces uncertainty as its 2024 release date is lost Fans eagerly await updates on when they can expect to witness this highly anticipated film
Sony's Spider-Man Universe is facing a delay as the release date for the lesser-known character, El Muerto, has been scrapped. In 2022, Sony Pictures announced their intention to expand their Spider-Man-related franchise by introducing the perplexing character El Muerto. This film, featuring Bad Bunny, centers around a super-powered wrestler who once clashed with Spider-Man during a wrestling charity event. Initially, the movie was slated for a January 2024 release.
However, it seems that Sony Pictures is revising their plans for El Muerto, as Screen Rant has confirmed that the Marvel film has been removed from the release schedule. As of now, there is no update regarding a new release date for El Muerto. This decision comes shortly after reports surfaced suggesting that filming for El Muerto was expected to begin in the autumn.
When Will El Muerto Release?
The release date for the film El Muerto remains uncertain, raising questions about Sony Pictures' plans. If the production follows a typical timeline, filming would likely continue until at least the beginning of 2024. However, it is unclear whether the screenplay for El Muerto has been completed, which is significant considering the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. Additionally, the possibility of a SAG-AFTRA strike further threatens to delay filming for El Muerto. Given these circumstances, it wouldn't be surprising if the film's release is pushed back to 2025, assuming both strikes conclude by the end of this year. Moreover, there is a chance that Sony Pictures may quietly cancel the project altogether.
Given the absence of Spider-Man in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, there has been much speculation about the viability of including El Muerto in this franchise. With projects like Venom 3, Madame Web, and Kraven the Hunter being more easily justified, the inclusion of El Muerto raises questions. As of now, there is no confirmed release date for El Muerto, leading to speculation that the project may be abandoned. Fans are eagerly awaiting clarification from Sony Pictures regarding the future of El Muerto.
