For years, the superhero genre has thrived, and it's no surprise that Marvel has ruled the big screen with its blockbusters. Yet DC Comics has its own colorful cast of heroes and villains, and it's about time one of the industry's lesser-known characters gets his due. The B-list crusader Blue Beetle has finally landed his own feature picture adaptation with Warner Bros. The first trailer for the film is a bright explosion of metals light that promises a family-friendly summertime treat.
"Blue Beetle" The trailer has a lot of anime influences — that giant sword at the end looks like it's straight out of "Bleach" — and, of course, a lot of Latino representation in a first for live-action, it's set to introduce non-Kryptonian aliens to the DC universe, and it also looks like a fun '90s sci-fi family adventure.
This flashy "Blue Beetle" project, directed by Puerto Rican filmmaker Angel Manuel Soto ("Charm City Kings") and starring Xolo Mariduea ("Cobra Kai") in the titular role, represents sthe first Latin DC superhero, who will undoubtedly be included as a vital component of the upcoming cinematic universe now being formed by new fully DC chiefs Peter Safran and James Gunn. It also includes cast, Adriana Barraza ("Rambo: Last Blood") plays Jaime's grandmother, Nana, Daman Alcázar ("Narcos") plays his father, Elpidia Carrillo ("Mayans M.C.") plays his mother, Bruna Marquezine ("God Save the King") plays Jenny Kord, Raoul Max Trujillo ("Sicario") plays Carapax, and comedian George Lopez plays Jaime's Uncle Rudy. Belissa Escobedo ("Hocus Pocus 2") plays Jaime's sister Milagro, and Harvey Guillén ("What We Do in the Dark") plays Dr. Sanchez.
The "Blue Beetle" trailer evokes Spider-Man/Green Lantern/Moon Knight vibes, but with a lighthearted tone that promises a unique perspective on the superhero genre. Moreover, with a release date of August 18, 2023, it's a pleasant break from the apparently never-ending tream of superhero films.
