James Gunn Shares Poster For DC's BLUE BEETLE Movie
Blue Beetle seems to have the full support of DC Studios head James Gunn as he recently teased the film by sharing a new poster for it.
The story for the movie centers on Jamie 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. It’s also confirmed that the movie will feature a good amount of Spanish dialogue with subtitles.
The Blue Beetle movie is 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.
