El Muertocan perfectly fit into Sony’s Cinematic Universe
Among all the iconic Spider-Man foes, El Muerto is one of the more obscure ones on the list. But considering Sony’s bold decisions regarding their cinematic universe, a movie revolving around the character doesn’t come out as off-putting. Considering that this character has one of the more complicated backstories among other villains in the web-slinger’s rogues’ gallery and a movie around him could work well without the presence of Peter Parker.
The comic-book character comprises a Mexican Wrestler, Juan-Carlos Sánchez, who is empowered by a mystical mask that is passed down from generation to generation in his family. Even though the character is generally presented as a villain for the webhead. Sanchez has showcased characteristics, which present him as more of an anti-hero and it can easily fit in Sony’s growing universe surrounding Spider-Man villains.
