After touring the world with his music, the Colombian Maluma is ready to conquer Hollywood: his first film, “Marry Me”, comes from the hand of Jennifer Lopez, although he makes it clear that it is only the beginning of his acting career.
“My dream is to get into Hollywood, it’s the right time,” said the singer about his recently released acting facet in an interview with Efe in which he admitted that he would like to put an end to many stereotypes and be, for example, “the first latin batman”.

“Marry Me” opens in theaters (and on the Peacock platform in the US), on the occasion of Valentine’s Day.
In it, López and Maluma give life to Kat and Bastian, a successful couple of singers who break up their relationship hours before getting married in front of thousands of followers and after having released a song about the long-awaited link.
After her breakup, the singer suddenly marries one of her followers -played by Owen Wilson-, whom she doesn’t know at all.
“It’s been a very good start, I can’t put it down,” the singer acknowledged about his debut accompanied by Wilson and López.
Maluma, who took acting classes during his last tour, admitted that he experienced some uncomfortable moments during the filming because “the way of working in Hollywood is totally different from that of the music industry.”
Future in Hollywood
Regarding his future in Hollywood, the singer is clear that he wants to try the action genre. And he aims high.

“I would like to break that stereotype and be the first ‘Batman‘Latino, or I don’t know, ‘James Bond,'” he assured. I could take my career to another level and represent our culture.”
Although at the moment, Maluma has many plans ahead. In a few weeks, he will resume his tour “Papi Juancho Maluma World Tour”, through Europe and Latin America, which will last until the summer and with a very special stop in his hometown, Medellín, where on April 30 he hopes to sing before more than 40,000 spectators. .
In addition, he has just launched collaborations with Versace and has designed an exclusive bottle for the cognac brand Hennesy, inspired by its origins.
“I worked a lot last year and February was the right month to let all the projects run,” he concluded.
