El Muerto Soundtrack: El Muerto is Sony Pictures’ long-planned entry in its Spider-Man Universe (SSU), built around the Marvel Comics luchador antihero of the same name. Originally dated for January 12, 2024, the film has not been released, and as of 2026 there is still no finished movie — which means there is no official soundtrack to review yet. This page explains exactly where the project stands and what to expect once music is actually announced.

What Is El Muerto About?
El Muerto follows a masked luchador who inherits ancestral supernatural power passed down through his family and, in the comics, ends up in a wrestling-ring clash with Spider-Man. The film was set up as a starring vehicle for musician Bad Bunny and would have been the first live-action Marvel character film led by a Latino actor. Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer (Blue Beetle) wrote the script, and Jonás Cuarón — son of director Alfonso Cuarón and helmer of the acclaimed thriller Desierto — signed on to direct in October 2022.
Why There’s No Soundtrack Yet: The Delay, Explained
Bad Bunny departed El Muerto in September 2023, citing his packed touring schedule and other commitments. Sony pulled the film from its release calendar shortly after, and the January 2024 date came and went with nothing to show for it. Reports later in 2024 indicated Sony had quietly resumed development on the project without Bad Bunny attached, but no new director, cast, or release window has been confirmed since. To make matters murkier, industry reporting in December 2024 named Kraven the Hunter as the final planned film in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, leaving El Muerto’s future — as a shelved SSU project or a possible standalone reboot — genuinely unclear. As of today, the film remains unreleased and no composer has been publicly attached, so there is no legitimate tracklist to publish.
We know some readers land on this page hoping for a finished tracklist. We’d rather tell you honestly that El Muerto hasn’t been made yet than invent song titles or a composer credit that doesn’t exist. This page will be updated the moment Sony announces a director, cast, or composer for the project.
Where to Get Updates
Once El Muerto is officially back in production, soundtrack news typically breaks first via studio press releases and outlets like Film Music Reporter, then rolls out on Spotify and Apple Music around release. Check back here for the real tracklist and composer once the film has a confirmed date.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is El Muerto cancelled?
Not officially. Sony removed it from its release calendar in 2023 and reportedly resumed development in 2024 without Bad Bunny, but no new release date has been confirmed, so the project remains in limbo rather than formally cancelled.
Is Bad Bunny still starring in El Muerto?
No. Bad Bunny exited the project in September 2023 due to scheduling conflicts, and Sony has not announced a replacement lead.
Who is directing El Muerto?
Jonás Cuarón was attached to direct as of the film’s 2022 announcement. It’s unconfirmed whether he remains attached given the project’s extended hiatus.
Does El Muerto have a soundtrack?
No. Because the film hasn’t been completed or released, no composer or soundtrack has been officially announced. Any tracklist claiming to be from El Muerto circulating online is not verified.
What is El Muerto’s connection to Spider-Man?
In the Marvel Comics source material, El Muerto is a luchador who first crosses paths with Spider-Man in a charity wrestling match before gaining supernatural power. The film is part of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, a separate franchise built around Spider-Man-adjacent characters.
