Blue beetle movie

From Warner Bros. Pictures comes the feature film “Blue Beetle,” marking the DC Super Hero’s first time on the big screen. The film, directed by Angel Manuel Soto, stars Xolo Maridueña in the title role as well as his alter ego, Jaime Reyes. Recent college grad Jaime Reyes returns home full of aspirations for his future, only to find that home is not quite as he left it. As he searches to find his purpose in the world, fate intervenes when Jaime unexpectedly finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology: the Scarab. When the Scarab suddenly chooses Jaime to be its symbiotic host, he is bestowed with an incredible suit of armor capable of extraordinary and unpredictable powers, forever changing his destiny as he becomes the Super Hero BLUE BEETLE. Starring alongside Maridueña (“Cobra Kai”) are Adriana Barraza (“Rambo: Last Blood,” “Thor”), Damían Alcázar (“Narcos,” “Narcos: Mexico”), Elpidia Carrillo (“Mayans M.C.,” the “Predator” films), Bruna Marquezine (“Maldivas,” “God Save the King”), Raoul Max Trujillo (the “Sicario” films, “Mayans M.C.”), with Oscar winner Susan Sarandon (“Monarch,” “Dead Man Walking”), and George Lopez (the “Rio and “Smurf” franchises). The film also stars Belissa Escobedo (“American Horror Stories,” “Hocus Pocus 2”) and Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”). Soto (“Charm City Kings,” “The Farm”) directs from a screenplay by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer (“Miss Bala”), based on characters from DC. John Rickard and Zev Foreman...

The trailer opens with Xolo Maridueña as our hero, Jaime Reyes. Introduced in the comics in 2006 and created by Keith Giffen, John Rogers, and Cully Hamner, Jaime is the third hero in DC canon to take on the mantle of the Blue Beetle. Much younger than his predecessors in the role (Dan Garrett and Ted Kord, more on them later), Jaime’s story radically overhauled the Blue Beetle concept. In the comics, Jaime’s early adventures take place in El Paso, Texas—but the movie has created a fictional city, Palmera, to root the character in. Palmera City also very recently became DC Comics canon in the pages of the current miniseries Blue Beetle: Graduation Day, by Josh Trujillo, Adrian Gutierrez, and Wil Quintana. Although the movie starts with Jaime working in the hotel industry, it looks like he’ll quickly be put in the orbit of Kord Industries—a major DC company with connections to Blue Beetle’s comic book legacy thanks to its founder, the second Blue Beetle, Ted Kord. Actually an acronym for “Kord Omniversal Research and Development,” Kord Industries is a scientific and technological corporation akin to STAR Labs in the DC Universe. While in most of its history Ted has directly led Kord Industries himself, most recently in the comics, and in the Blue Beetle movie, it’s managed by his sister, Victoria. Jaime is given a mysterious package to safeguard with his life in an innocuous hamburger box—which in and of itself is a DC Comics reference. Big Belly Burger has appeared in DC s...

This time, we'll be introduced to DC's first Latino superhero in the form of Jaime Reyes, a youngster (played by Cobra Kai's Xolo Maridueña) who gains his superpowers from a bizarre piece of alien technology known as the Scarab. Per the recently released trailer, Reyes gains his powers after finding an electric blue beetle stashed inside a take-out box that he's instructed to keep safe. The beetle promptly attaches itself to his body and transforms him into the titular superhero right before his family's eyes, bestowing all kinds of extraordinary abilities upon him.

Before Blue Beetle teases a look at ( Cobra Kai’s) Xolo Maridueña as Jamie, and his encounter with the alien scarab Khaji Da. The new trailer covers much of Jaime’s movie origin story — a strange encounter with a piece of alien technology, a close knit family group, and a threatening presence of corporate power. Alongside Maridueña, the cast includes George Lopez ( George Lopez) as Jaime’s uncle Rudy, Susan Sarandon ( Thelma & Louise) as Victoria Kord, Raoul Trujillo ( Apocalypto) as the villainous Carapax, and Harvey Guillén ( What We Do In The Shadows) in an unknown role. Who is Blue Beetle? Image: DC Comics There are multiple answers to that question, because Blue Beetle is one of DC Comics’ “legacy” characters, where writers have introduced younger, more modern characters who take on the mantle of their predecessor. The first Blue Beetle was a war-time superhero, a police officer who donned bulletproof armor and took a sci-fi vitamin supplement to moonlight as a vigilante. The second was Ted Kord, a genius inventor and self-made industrialist who styled himself as a wise-cracking superhero out of love for the Justice League and their good deeds. The third hero, and the star of Blue Beetle, directed by Puerto Rican filmmaker Angel Manuel Soto ( Charm City Kings), is Jamie, who gets his wild powers and an even wilder, bug-legged suit from an ancient piece of technology built by an alien race called the Reach. In the form of a blue, metal scarab, the device bonds with Jam...
