Coachella headliner Bad Bunny has announced his 2024 “Most Wanted” tour on Instagram, a week after the release of his fifth solo album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana.

Capping a big month, he’s also hosting and is musical guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend.

In the Instagram video announcement, a lucha libre-masked Bad Bunny appears on horseback. He comes to a wall plastered with “most wanted” signs bearing his image. He crumples the poster and tosses it away as ticket information pops up.

The tour will have 31 shows in the U.S. out of a total of 47. The first stop will be on Feb. 21, 2024, in Salt Lake City. He will play at the Crypto.com Arena for three nights, March 13-15, and a similar multiple on April 11-13 in New York.

Bad Bunny’s film plans have been put on hold by Sony/Columbia Pictures because of the tour.

Spider-Man: Far From Home, the second McU-set Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland, will be added to Disney+ next month.

Per The Direct, Disney has announced that Far From Home will be coming to Disney+ in the United States on Friday, Nov. 3, 2023. Set after the events of Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home follows Peter Parker as he jets off on a European summer field trip with his friends. However, Peter's plan to leave the Spider-Man part of his life back in New York is quickly thrown out the window when Nick Fury recruits the young hero to help him stop the Elementals, later revealed to be the work of Mysterio. Far From Home is notable for being the first Spider-Man film to cross the $1 billion mark at the box office.

Beginning with Venom, Sony's universe of Marvel characters has slowly been building to the debut of the very first live-action Sinister Six team but is missing one crucial element in the group's formation. As Sony continues to capitalize on the popularity of Marvel's characters, it is clear that it is only a matter of time before it brings together its own team of superheroes or, in this case, antiheroes and supervillains, for a major crossover event. However, Sony's Sinister Six can't be a direct translation of the version seen in Marvel Comics and only one specific change can keep their inevitable team-up film from imploding.

2018's Venom kickstarted Sony's universe of Spider-Man supervillains, reigniting the studio's hopes of a Sinister Six project that had seemingly vanished with the death of Andrew Garfield's Amazing Spider-Man franchise. Although Venom: Let There Be Carnage was surprisingly devoid of hints at a larger universe,...

Donald Glover has a new Spider-Man role as part of Sony's Spider-Man Universe, and it complicates Miles Morales' Marvel Cinematic Universe debut. The deal between Sony and Marvel Studios to share Spider-Man on the big screen has given both studios great success, but it also prompted Sony to create its own shared universe centered around Spider-Man villains. Movies like Venom and Morbius are part of that model as Sony looks to turn some rather obscure comic villains into franchise leads. There have been varying degrees of success so far, but the plan has always included getting major talent involved.

After working with Tom Hardy and Jared Leto on solo movies for Venom and Morbius, respectively, there are plans for several other Sony Marvel movies. Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Kraven the Hunter will finally bring the fan-favorite villain to live-action, while Dakota Johnson leads a female ensemble for Madame Web. Sony...
