Richard Dominguez’s comic book El Gato Negro is coming to our small screens, courtesy of Amazon Prime Video, and they found a perfect man to front this project. Diego Boneta will lead the way in the drama series El Gato, which was created by Eric Carrasco.
El Gato will center on Frank Guerrero, who returns to Mexico after his father’s death, only to find himself at the center of a vast conspiracy after discovering his father was a well-known 70s vigilante. He must deal with his estranged family while also trying to unravel the mysteries of his father’s double life.
Boneta is coming on board as the leading man and one of the executive producers, and he said it’s a dream come true to share El Gato with the world.
“Eric Carrasco and the entire team have built a character and universe that honors the superhero genre and still feels completely epic and original. It is an absolute honor to play Frank and produce this with my amazing partners at Amazon, MGM, and all other producers,” said Boneta in a statement.
Boneta is best known as the star of Rock of Ages, Terminator: Dark Fate, and Father of the Bride. His most notable TV projects include the lead role in Luis Miguel: The Series and supporting turns in Scream Queens and Pretty Little Liars.
