- Singer Bad Bunny collaborates with Austin Butler in Aronofsky's suspenseful drama
Popular Latin artist Bad Bunny (30), known as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is generating buzz in Hollywood. The Puerto Rican musician and rapper has secured a role alongside "Elvis" actor Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz ("Batman") in the upcoming thriller "Snatch and Run," according to American entertainment news sources. Director Darren Aronofsky ("The Tubby Whale," "Swan Black") is set to lead the project.
Studio Sony Pictures is supporting the film, which is based on a novel by American author Charles Huston. The narrative centers around a retired baseball player (Butler) who unknowingly becomes entangled in New York's 1990s criminal underworld and must fight for survival. As of now, details regarding Bad Bunny's character are under wraps.
The Grammy-winning artist ("A Summer Without You"), who made his acting debut with a supporting role in "Mexico's Narcos" Netflix series, later starred alongside Brad Pitt in the 2022 action comedy "Express Train," followed by "Cassandro" with Gael García Bernal.
Aronofsky is recognized for movies like "Requiem for a Dream" (2000), "The Wrestler" (2008), "Black Swan" (2010), "Noah" (2014), and "The Mother!" (2017). Last year, Brendan Fraser won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his leading role in Aronofsky's drama "The Whale."
Bad Bunny's Hollywood fame continues to grow with his involvement in the highly anticipated film "Snatch and Run," set to be filmed in Hollywood. Following his success in Mexican and international productions, this role represents another significant step in his Hollywood career.
