Global music phenomenon Bad Bunny is stepping into a powerful new chapter of his career as he prepares to lead the historical drama Porto Rico. The project marks his first major leading role in a feature film and signals a significant expansion of his presence in Hollywood. Known for redefining Latin music on the global stage, the Puerto Rican superstar is now aiming to bring an important chapter of his homeland’s history to cinemas worldwide.
Porto Rico is described as an epic historical drama that will explore themes of identity, resistance and cultural legacy. The film is being developed with the backing of respected names in the industry, adding weight and credibility to the ambitious production. Acclaimed filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is attached as executive producer, a move that has immediately elevated anticipation around the project.
The screenplay is co written by Residente alongside Academy Award winner Alexander Dinelaris Jr.. Residente is also set to direct, bringing a deeply personal and culturally rooted perspective to the story. The collaboration between artists who share Puerto Rican heritage adds authenticity and emotional depth to the narrative.
Bad Bunny has previously appeared in supporting roles in films such as Bullet Train, but Porto Rico will place him firmly at the center of a major cinematic production. The transition from global music icon to leading man represents a bold move, yet one that aligns with his track record of challenging expectations and breaking barriers.
The film is expected to focus on significant historical events that shaped Puerto Rico’s identity, blending dramatic storytelling with large scale production values. With heavyweight talent both in front of and behind the camera, Porto Rico is already generating excitement as a potential landmark project for Latin representation in Hollywood.
