'Blue Beetle' flaunts his firepower in a new, charged up image.
As The Flash speeds into theaters this month, it won't be too long before fans return to cinemas for the debut of another DC hero in the upcoming Blue Beetle. The film centers around its titular hero, played by Xolo Maridueña , a character which dates all the way back to the 1930s.
Behind the Blue Beetle mask, Maridueña stars as Jaime Reyes, a recent college grad longing for direction who is granted powers after bonding with alien technology known as the Scarab. While many characters have taken up the mantle of the Blue Beetle, Reyes was DC's first Latino hero, and Maridueña the studio's first Latino lead.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Production on the film began back in May 2022 with aim of an HBO Max release, however, after positive reception from test audiences, the movie was bumped up to a theatrical release. This predates the announcement that James Gunn and Peter Safran would be taking over the reins of DC Studios, following years of critical and commercial misfires.

It just depends on numbers.
