Tom Hanks to star in baseball movie based on Dave Eggers short story 'The Comebacker', with Bad Bunny and Colman Domingo eyed for roles, to be directed by Marielle Heller ('A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood'). Sony leads the bidding war for the project.
You can read the short story it's based on right here! Non-paywalled version.
Edited to add: At first I wasn't going to read the story, because urgh, baseball. But then I thought I'd skim enough just to have an idea of who Bad Bunny would play. And damn, I got completely into it! Delightful little story! Would make for a great movie if they do it right!

Tom Hanks and Bad Bunny is a crossover I never thought I needed

It already happened! Tom Hanks was spotted at a Bad Bunny concert in Australia a few weeks ago. As Hanks is also a producer on The Comebacker, he was probably there to talk to Benito about being in the movie.
