DC and Warner Bros. to Release BLUE BEETLE Movie to HBO Max
Fans are pretty excited about the upcoming HBO Max slate. With a slew of films headed to streaming in the coming year, there’s a lot of look forward to. Now we have one more project to get pumped for, and that’s DC’s Blue Beetle movie.
In a recent rundown from The Los Angeles Times, it was announced that Warner Bros. will be releasing its DC Blue Beetle film exclusively on HBO Max, along with the studio’s Batgirl. Angel Manuel Soto (Charm City Kings) is set to direct DC’s first Latino-fronted superhero story.
The film will center around Mexican-American teenager Jaime Reyes, who is the third character to assume the mantle of the Blue Beetle after Dan Garret and Ted Kord.
In the story, “Jaime Reyes discovered the Blue Beetle scarab on the way home from school with two of his best friends Paco and Brenda, half-buried in a disused lot. Reyes took the scarab home, curious as to what it might be. That night, the scarab came alive, and grafted itself to the base of Jaime’s spine, and provided him with a suit of extraterrestrial armor that can be modified to enhance his speed and strength, as well as to create weapons, wings, and shields.”
