Final Trailer for DC's BLUE BEETLE Movie Teases a Fun Family Superhero Adventure
Warner Bros. has released the final trailer for its upcoming DC Studios film Blue Beetle, which looks like will deliver a fun family superhero adventure. This isn’t going to be one of the greatest superhero films ever made, but it’s going to deliver amusing and action-packed entertainment. Even if the movie is good, will audiences even show up to watch it? We’ll just have to wait and see what happens after a string of DC movies that disappointed the box office.
I’ll go see it in theaters because I see pretty much everything, and I’m expecting an entertaining film. The story for the movie centers on Jaime Reyes, the alter ego of the Blue Beetle, a vigilante who has a scarab grafted onto his spine that gives him tremendous powers and the ability to emit blue energy. You get to see that transformation take place in the trailer, and it’s like family-friendly body horror. Here’s the synopsis:
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.
Blue Beetle was directed by Angel Manuel Soto (Charm City Kings) from a screenplay adapted by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer (Miss Bala). The movie stars Xolo Maridueña (Cobra Kai) as Reyes; Bruna Marquezine as Penny, the female lead and love interest; Belissa Escobedo as Jamie’s younger sister, Milagros; as well as Harvey Guillén; and Susan Sarandon as the villain Victoria Kord.
The movie is set to be released only in theaters on August 18, 2023.
