Sony Pictures is looking to bring a voiceover actor from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse into the live-action realm for a Spider-Man movie. The success of the Spider-Verse movies, which featured actors from live-action Marvel projects, has inspired Sony to continue expanding its Spider-Man Universe franchise with upcoming live-action films like Kraven the Hunter, Madame Web, and El Muerto.

Marvin Jones III Considered For El Muerto

Reports from The Hollywood Reporter reveal that Sony Pictures is considering Marvin Jones III for the role of Tombstone in the upcoming film El Muerto. Jones III previously voiced the character in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, where he played a minor role alongside Kingpin and Olivia Octavius. However, production for El Muerto has not yet begun due to an ongoing writers strike, and the script requires further development.

Potential Cast Members And Speculation

Marvin Jones III could become the third confirmed cast member for El Muerto, joining WWE Diva Sasha Banks, who is rumored to have a role in Bad Bunny’s solo Spider-Man film. Although Jones III’s role in Spider-Verse was minor, his portrayal of Tombstone was effective and showcased his ability to bring the character to life. The question remains as to when production for El Muerto will commence, as its previously announced release date has been removed from Sony’s schedule.

Building Excitement For Sony’s Spidey Franchise

As El Muerto awaits production and release, the involvement of Bad Bunny, Sasha Banks, and potentially Marvin Jones III holds promise for the future of Sony’s Spider-Man franchise. The anticipation is high, with Bad Bunny teasing an “epic” superhero outing. Fans eagerly anticipate the introduction of these characters and the growth of Sony’s Spidey universe on the big screen.
