Bad Bunny is set to join the cast of Darren Aronofsky's upcoming film, 'Caught Stealing', according to The Hollywood Reporter. This casting decision pairs him with notable actors Zoe Kravitz and Austin Butler in a crime thriller based on Charlie Huston's novel of the same name. Specific details about the character Bad Bunny will portray have not yet been released.

The storyline centers on Hank Thompson, a former baseball player played by Austin Butler. The film's description reveals that Hank is 'unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of '90s NYC.' Bad Bunny's casting is another highlight in an already impressive entertainment career, which includes completing his Most Wanted Tour earlier this year.

The Grammy-winning artist has previously ventured into acting with roles in 'Narcos: Mexico,' where he portrayed Arturo "Kitty" Paez, and in the action-packed 'Bullet Train' alongside Brad Pitt, where he played an assassin named Wolf. More recently, Bad Bunny starred in 'Cassandro' with Gael Garcia Bernal. Besides acting, Bad Bunny is also an accomplished producer, contributing to Netflix's adaptation of 'They Both Die at the End,' a novel by Puerto Rican author Adam Silvera.

Meanwhile, Darren Aronofsky, known for critically acclaimed films like 'Black Swan' and 'The Whale,' will helm and produce 'Caught Stealing.' He is collaborating with his partner Ari Handel through their company Protozoa Pictures. Aronofsky also has an Elon Musk biopic in development with A24, the studio behind 'The Whale.' The director-producer duo has previously worked together on several iconic films such as 'Requiem for a Dream,' 'Noah,' and 'Mother.'
