The BLUE BEETLE Battles in New TV Spot
The marketing for the DC Comics movie Blue Beetle released a new TV Spot on their Twitter account. In the brief clip, Jaime Reyes acquires the alien beetle artifact, has the suit attached to his body, and then glimpses of an energy sword and an energy blast during a heated battle. I’m probably biased in thinking that someone with the last name of Reyes will be an awesome superhero. Also, my dad’s first name happens to be Jaime.
The synopsis for Blue Beetle reads:
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.
