Bad Bunny’s kicking off his acting career with a fight scene against Oscar-winning actor Brad Pitt.
The reggaeton star was featured in a sneak peek of the upcoming David Leitch film Bullet Train shown at CinemaCon in Las Vegas yesterday. The film, which is based on Kōtarō Isaka’s book Maria Beetle, follows five assassins aboard the same train who realize that their separate missions are all connected.
According to Variety, the clip shows Bad Bunny—real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—tussling with Brad Pitt over a briefcase in a luxury cabin on a speeding train. The Puerto Rican rapper sports a white pinstriped suit, killer boots, and an edge weapon as he and Pitt battle in the clip, which ends with one of the two getting stabbed.
Bad Bunny was added to the film’s star-studded cast last December, joining Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Zazie Beetz, Michael Shannon, Logan Lerman, Andrew Koji, and Hiroyuki Sanada. Lady Gaga was also rumored to be cast in a lead role, but it has yet to be confirmed.
The 27-year-old told Entertainment Tonight last year that it was always his dream to star in movies. He also said that, though he’s taking on a sizeable role in Bullet Train, he’s ready. “There’s a lot of lines, but I’m good at memorizing. You know, I have a big head,” he said.
Bad Bunny’s acting career is getting off to an impressive start, as he has other roles in the works too. He makes his acting debut in the film American Sole, which is produced by Kevin Hart and costars Pete Davidson, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Camila Mendes, Sydney Sweeney, and Offset. He’s also been confirmed to have a special guest-starring role in the upcoming season of Narcos: Mexico on Netflix.
