Marvel fans rejoice! Sony Pictures has finally announced who will be helming the new El Muerto movie, and it’s none other than Jonas Cuaron, son of Academy Award-winning director Alfonso Cuaron. In addition, Gareth Dunnet-Alcoce is on board to write the script.
Inheriting his superpowers from his father, who sacrificed his life to save Juan Carlos from their family’s ancient enemy El Dorado, El Muerto is a superhero wrestler in the comics. Wrestling for charity, El Muerto nearly unmasks Spider-Man before being paralyzed by a poison sting. When unsuccessful in defeating Spider-Man, El Dorado returns to attempt to finish El Muerto’s life. Luckily, Spider-Man steps in and saves him just in time.
