On Friday, Bunny (real name: Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) released his newest studio albumUn Verano Sin Ti, and with it, an epic music video that sets the tone for summer 2022 to his opening track “Moscow Mule.”
In the music video for the tune, a nude Bunny, 28, is seen hitch-hiking before a future love interest picks him up and they end up having a fun-filled summer night. Throughout the video, they’re seen dancing around a campfire, going on a late-night drive for snacks, getting intimate and partying at a club before she drops him off and he later awaits her texts/calls.

Un Verano Sin Ti, which follows his hit 2020 albumYHLQMDLG, represents a “new era” in his music. Beginning with its colorful cover art, the album is meant to serve as an introduction to the summer season as Bunny preaches putting feelings of sadness aside and living in the moment to make the most of the season, according to a press release.
Bunny also ventures into different sounds throughout the album, which translates to “a summer without you” as he goes from reggaeton to mambo and merengue, to reggae, indie, pop and Afrobeats. The album also features a collection of stars in Latin music like MAG and Tainy who produced the album, Rauw Alejandro, Bomba Estéreo, The Marias, Buscabulla, Jhay Cortez and Tony Dize.
The release of his album comes one week after Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group President Sanford Panitch announced that the “Yonaguni” singer, who recently appeared inF9, isset to take on the role of El Muertoin Sony Pictures' standalone movie of the same name.
“Sometimes we get lucky with the perfect casting, and I think that’s what we’ve got here,” Panitch said, according toEntertainment Tonight.
Bunny reportedly told the crowd he “love(s)” the character of El Muerto, a wrestler and villain in theSpider-Manuniverse, in part because he is a professional wrestler himself.

“I think it’s the perfect role, to me. It will be epic,” he said, accordingET, adding perVariety, “To bring El Muerto to life is just incredible … so exciting.”
