Bad Bunny to star in movie about Puerto Rico
The Straits Times
|February 23, 2026
Fresh from his success at the Grammys and a triumphant Super Bowl halftime show, Puerto Rican megastar Bad Bunny is set to take the lead role in an all-star film, producers announced on Feb 18.
-
Porto Rico, which will be directed by Grammy-winning rapper Rene Perez Joglar - known as Residente - is described as a cross between a Caribbean western and a historical drama about the island both men call home.
It will also feature stars such as Viggo Mortensen, Javier Bardem and Edward Norton, and will be produced by Academy Award winner Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
Porto Rico tells the story of Jose Maldonado Roman, known as Aguila Blanca (White Eagle), a revolutionary who fought against colonialism in the late 19th century.
