Watch Xolo Maridueña become the BlueBeetle in the first trailer for the DC superhero movie:
DC Studios is spending 2023 rolling out the last of its pre-James Gunn and Peter Safran era content as the new co-CEOs plan to revamp the DCU with their own vision, and an absolutely massive 10-year plan. While this summer’s The Flash movie is set to serve as a reboot point for the universe, DC still has a few other formerly DCEU titles set to hit the big screen before the end of the year including Blue Beetle, which just received its first trailer today.
Blue Beetle is set to follow teenager Jamie Reyes who becomes a superhero when an alien scarab beetle attaches itself to him giving him armor and super abilities including enhanced strength and speed. The new trailer released today offers fans our first on-screen glimpse of the character and his first encounter with the alien scarab beetle.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Blue Beetle was originally destined for an HBO Max debut alongside the controversially cancelled Batgirl. However, a few months prior to Batgirl’s cancellation, in an attempt to create a more cohesive DCU going forward Warner Brothers decided to give the film a theatrical release. Bumping the film up to a theatrical release is likely a wise move given that Blue Beetle will be the first Latinx-led superhero film from a major studio.
Having wrapped filming last summer, about a year ahead of its release date, Blue Beetle so far appears to be creating a new origin story for the comic book hero. While some of these characters have comic book counterparts, the production is shaking things up with others.
Blue Beetle is set to hit theaters on August 18, 2023. Check out the new trailer down below and stay tuned at Collider for further updates.
