The study, which released the news through a statement on Wednesday, thus discards the original date of January 12, 2024 that was scheduled for the release of this film.
The filming of “El Muerto” continues and from Sony Pictures they rejected the hypothesis that the film ends up being cancelled.
After changing the recording schedule, the film “The Book of Clarence”, a continuation of the western “The Harder The Fall”, will occupy the date of January 12, 2024, giving way to its premiere, stipulated for September 22, 2023 , to “Dumb Money”, the film about the history of GameStop led by Paul Dano.
“El Muerto”, which will mark the first time that a Latino character will star in a live-action film of the Marvel franchise, will be directed by Jonás Cuarón -son of Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón- and produced by Columbia Pictures.
As for its plot, it is a production derived from Spider-Man that deals with an anti-hero son of a fighter who is the next in line to inherit the ancestral power of the one known as “El Muerto”.
The Hollywood Writers Union (WGA) strike, one of the factors that has led to the postponement of this new opportunity to see the Puerto Rican artist on the big screen, accumulates 8 consecutive weeks without an agreement between the writers and the Alliance of Producers of American Film and Television (AMPTP).
Among the demands of the scriptwriters are salary increases and the request to the streaming platforms for a fair remuneration in the so-called “residuals”, payments that the members of a team receive when their work is broadcast again in the options of video on demand.
In this sense, the union demands that the platforms generate more transparent processes in terms of the number of times that their products are seen by audiences.
