BLUE BEETLE Director to Direct Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa in Buddy Action Movie THE WRECKING CREW

Blue Beetle director Ángel Manuel Soto is already onto the next project, having just signed up to helm the buddy action movie The Wrecking Crew. The MGM film was written by Jonathan Tropper (Banshee, The Adam Project, Warrior) prior to the WGA strike.

Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy franchise) and Jason Momoa (Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom) are both in talks to star in the film, as it was their pitch to MGM following a four-bidder battle in the fall 2021 that started the ball rolling on the project.

Bautista has been seen this year in M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin, as well as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which brought his time in the MCU as Drax the Destroyer to a close. Momoa played the villain Dante in Uni’s Fast X and next will be seen in Warner Bros’ long-awaited sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which released on December 20th.
