Bad Bunny lands lead role in film 'Porto Rico'

Bad Bunny is going from the Super Bowl stage to the silver screen.

The Grammy-winning performer will make his film debut in ‘Porto Rico.’

Full story below…

Fresh off a historic Super Bowl LX Halftime Show that celebrated his Boricua roots, the global superstar has now landed the lead role in the René ‘Residente’ Pérez Joglar-directed film.

‘Porto Rico’, co-written by Residente and Oscar-winning Alexander Dinelaris aims to dramatize Puerto Rico’s complex past while showcasing the island’s rich heritage to a global audience.

Benito’s casting comes on the heels of his 128 million-viewed Super Bowl performance, igniting a 254% surge in travel searches to Puerto Rico in the days after the broadcast.

Whether in his music or on the movie screens, it’s clear Bunny keeps Puerto Rico on the map for the world to see.
