Blue Beetle – Official Trailer
He’s A Superhero, Whether He Likes It Or Not #BlueBeetle – Only in Theaters August 18
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 are producing, with Walter Hamada, Galen Vaisman and Garrett Grant serving as executive producers.
The director’s creative team behind the scenes includes director of photography Pawel Pogorzelski (“Midsommar,” “Hereditary”), production designer John Billington (“Bad Boys for Life”), editor Craig Alpert (“Deadpool 2,” “The Lost City”), Oscar-nominated costume designer Mayes C. Rubeo (“Jojo Rabbit,” the “Thor” films), visual effects supervisor Kelvin McIlwain (“The Suicide Squad,” “Aquaman”) and composer Bobby Krlic (“Midsommar,” the “Snowpiercer” series).
A Warner Bros. Pictures Presentation, a Safran Company Production, “Blue Beetle” soars into theaters only internationally beginning August 2023 and in North America August 18, 2023. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Massive respect to DC for promoting the comics at the end – that’s gonna be great for the people who worked on those!
I bet this is James Gunn idea since he loved comics and promoting them
@Ronald Lalisan the writers? It’s a joke, why in the world a worker in the middle of nowhere can understand the motivations of Bruce Wayne and his journey as Batman, they don’t know, just like the people can’t figure out that Clark Kent is Superman, not for the glasses only because they only see a blur in the sky, bad writing is thinking that the character knows what we as audience know.
@Drew I bet you didn’t read any good batman comics.
That’s awesome! It’s great to see DC supporting the comic creators.
This is what they should continue to do from this point on. What a great way to encourage people to dive into the origins of the super heroes. It ALL started with comics.
Big belly burger. That suit. That transition. Just everything!!! Whoever did props and costume for this deserves a raise
You can’t do a DC movie without big belly burger, it’s like having a marvel movie without a Stan Lee cameo (RIP Stan The Man😔 btw)
!
That looks awesome! You make a great point about props and costume, they do deserve recognition!
Bro why are replies to wholesome comments always horrible
@Lost S4lm0n Good for you, this isn’t subjective.
@Paul I disagree
They did a great job showing how scary it was when he first transformed and became part of the suit, and I don’t think anyone can argue with that.
no because no one have to this show is gonna be crazy omg I’m so excited
Totally!! These fake positive reviews authored by AI bots are so cringe.
You mean the comedic scene? Oh ya, comedy is so often scary…
That was an outstanding scene in the movie. Well executed!
Gave me Venom vibes
I love how Jaime isn’t trying to hide his identity as Blue Beetle and everyone knew about him being Blue Beetle from the start. This is a great change from the typical teen superhero movies where the main character would hide his identity as a superhero from his close ones.
That’s awesome! It’s refreshing to see a superhero movie where the protagonist doesn’t have to hide their identity from the people they care about. #BlueBeetle #TeenSuperhero
Less logical but whateves
@Frozen Things Studios maybe so but it doesn’t change the fact that “hiding your identity” is obsolete when you transform right in front of your family
You say that but we havent got any superheroes flick recently where they had to hide their identity, mostly just Spiderman ( maybe ms marvel but i didnt watch ), feels like everyone in the MCU opens about their identity like celebrities, and DCEU its like they never even bother
True that
Never have I been so excited to see a DC live action film since Man of Steel. I first saw Blue Beetle during Young Justice, and I fell in love with the character ever since. Hopefully the movie does him justice.
@putalover4519 Haven’t seen Joker. The new Batman was good, but I wasn’t excited to watch it (I’m glad I was wrong). Both Suicide Squads I wasn’t fond of.
Same here bro I’m excited for sure
Same here. I barely had an idea who Blue Beetle was. Then I watched Young Justice season 2 a bit after it came out and holy, such an epic season, and made me a fan of Blue Beetle and Impulse. Hope they make a sequel where he goes up against The Reach and Black Beetle.
Great! We can’t wait to see Blue Beetle on the big screen!
Man of steel flunked so hopefully this won’t. Also you clearly haven’t seen the new Joker, Batman, or James Gunn suicide squad
My god, seeing Xolo starring as the main character as Blue Beetle gives me so much hope for the film. So pumped up for the release of it 💪
The way they captured how terrifying his first transformation and assimilation into the suit was amazing and you can’t convince me otherwise.
Jamie Reyes Blue Beetle transformation is insane!
Poor clothing budget of Jamie
It should be really painful the first time since the bettle literally have to burrow its legs into the host spine so the host could have full control of the suit with his mind
That is such a great way of looking at it! It’s so powerful when you can connect with the character’s roller-coaster of emotions.
Nah I think they found a good balance between horror and comedy with the family’s reaction. Like, if this was shot at night and BB was by himself this would be straight horror.
I’ve been waiting for a Blue Beetle movie for so long!! And I’m so glad the Xolo was cast as Jaime Reyes!! HE’S PERFECT!!
@PunkieDudie A ninjago account bot? Nah this mans is real, and with a tasteful pfp
That’s awesome! It’s so cool that you have something to look forward to! We have definitely found the perfect actor.
Don’t listen to @JonO387 Xolo was a great pick for Jaime Reyes
@JonO387 huh? what do you mean?
Bot comment.
I didn’t expect to see Blue Beetle would get a movie, he’s one of my favorite DC characters. Now I can finally see him in live action
But it was announced a few years ago… even had a DC panel thing during their livestream event.
I like how his whole family watches him transform into Blue Beetle. It’s actually one of the few moments you see superheroes and their families get involved. You don’t see that a lot.
