In 2025 and 2026, Castro is a fixture in high-profile cinema. He recently starred in the sci-fi sequel "Tron: Ares" (released October 2025), playing Seth Flores, a tech expert and colleague to the film's female lead (Greta Lee).

He also lends his voice to the current theatrical hit "The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants" (released December 2025), voicing the Ride Operator in the film's live-action/animation hybrid sequences. Castro is currently active in the podcasting space, having launched "Greatest Escapes with Arturo Castro" in January 2025. The iHeartRadio original series blends his comedic storytelling with history, recounting famous jailbreaks and heists. Looking ahead, he is set to appear in the action-comedy "Matchbox", directed by Sam Hargrave and starring John Cena, as well as the 20th Century feature "Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice" alongside Vince Vaughn.
