Set to be released on the streaming service on September 22, the biopic tells the true story of wrestler Saúl Armendáriz, ‘a amateur wrestler from El Paso, who rises to international stardom after he creates the character Cassandro, the Liberace of Lucha Libre,’ according to the film’s synopsis.
Amores Perros actor Bernal will appear in the lead role of Armendáriz, alongside Bunny as his apparent love interest with a scene from the film showing them kissing.
