Blue Beetle – Official Trailer

He’s A Superhero, Whether He Likes It Or Not #BlueBeetle - Only in Theaters August 18

From Warner Bros. Pictures comes the feature film “Blue Beetle,” marking the DC Super Hero’s first time on the big screen. The film, directed by Angel Manuel Soto, stars Xolo Maridueña in the title role as well as his alter ego, Jaime Reyes.
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.

Starring alongside Maridueña (“Cobra Kai”) are Adriana Barraza (“Rambo: Last Blood,” “Thor”), Damían Alcázar (“Narcos,” “Narcos: Mexico”), Elpidia Carrillo (“Mayans M.C.,” the “Predator” films), Bruna Marquezine (“Maldivas,” “God Save the King”), Raoul Max Trujillo (the “Sicario” films, “Mayans M.C.”), with Oscar winner Susan Sarandon (“Monarch,” “Dead Man Walking”), and George Lopez (the “Rio and “Smurf” franchises). The film also stars Belissa Escobedo (“American Horror Stories,” “Hocus Pocus 2”) and Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”). Soto (“Charm City Kings,” “The Farm”) directs from a screenplay by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer (“Miss Bala”), based on characters from DC.

John Rickard and Zev Foreman are producing, with Walter Hamada, Galen Vaisman and Garrett Grant serving as executive producers.

The director’s creative team behind the scenes includes director of photography Pawel Pogorzelski (“Midsommar,” “Hereditary”), production designer John Billington (“Bad Boys for Life”), editor Craig Alpert (“Deadpool 2,” “The Lost City”), Oscar-nominated costume designer Mayes C. Rubeo (“Jojo Rabbit,” the “Thor” films), visual effects supervisor Kelvin McIlwain (“The Suicide Squad,” “Aquaman”) and composer Bobby Krlic (“Midsommar,” the “Snowpiercer” series).
A Warner Bros. Pictures Presentation, a Safran Company Production, “Blue Beetle” soars into theaters only internationally beginning August 2023 and in North America August 18, 2023. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

I like how his whole family watches him transform into Blue Beetle. It's actually one of the few moments you see superheroes and their families get involved. You don't see that a lot.

Massive respect to DC for promoting the comics at the end - that’s gonna be great for the people who worked on those!

Blue Beetle = if Iron Man was a giant bug

[abba]

I was a massive Marvel fan until.. This movie was so AWESOME! I laughed and cried and saw my family in there. So fun!!

[MusicDudes]

The way they captured how terrifying his first transformation and assimilation into the suit was amazing and you can't convince me otherwise.

Edit: How do I mute the notifications for this comment or will it do it by itself

Love Xolo on Cobra Kai; he killed it with Blue Beetle

[Circuitssmith]

This whole movie is brimming with human energy and personality. Jaime’s family is an entire full character. I just love it.

[ZuluNinja]

Big belly burger. That suit. That transition. Just everything!!! Whoever did props and costume for this deserves a raise

[arachnidcomics]

It's great that they're not just translating the awesome character Jaime is from the comics; but at the end of the trailer, they showed the suits of previous Blue Beetles. Dan Gerrat and Tedd Kord.
Glad they're paying tribute to the OG's.

This movie made me feel like I was watching my first superhero blockbuster as a kid. It sounds like I’m exaggerating, but I hope it has more or less the same affect on you

[DreamAddic]

I love whenever the family is in the adventure. I am so fed up with lonely super hero hiding their identity and being miserable all by themselves, or orphans against the world. Family, friends, support system, that's the kind of thing I like to see in movies.

[DavidManuUwU]

No reason DC can’t make a static shock movie now, this looks great.

[cosmicdream]

Finally we're getting a legacy character like Jaime Reyes done justice on the big screen, the organic nanotech suit up was so fascinating to watch, and in the adaptation his family knows and supports his superhero life!

I watched it yesterday and it was a very well put together film. Great cast, decent action, but a big standout to me was Xolo performance as Jaime Reyes. The family dynamic was very strong and there are at least four family scenes that made me cry and think of my own family growing up. It’s a very relatable enjoyable film. A lot is in Spanish which I liked. This lil girl sitting next to me was reading the subtitles out loud 😂😭😭 cute. Story was decent for an entry level film. Susan Sarandon did her thing per usual. I liked it more than the flash. I’m happy he is a part of the DCU going forward. Despite what’s going on with Hollywood and the strike I think it’s important to not get lost in the sauce. We need to take our families to see this and enjoy this film and support the DCU and the many hardworking writers producers and visual artists that worked on this project. They deserve it. Enjoy this weekend.

Happy to say I found this movie way better than I thought it was gonna be, I genuinely had a great time with this one

[lucifertopden]

The armor looks way comic accurate than I thought it would be.
Massive respect for that

[greenpegatrix]

Never have I been so excited to see a DC live action film since Man of Steel. I first saw Blue Beetle during Young Justice, and I fell in love with the character ever since. Hopefully the movie does him justice.

[KingDro-cr]

Sad that this movie was so good that it didn't make enough money at the box office and a lot of people missed out on going to see it, way better than the Flash even the special effects were on point and definitely better than the second Shazam

[albertocortez]

My boy Xolo doing big things out here! I can’t wait to see what else you do, you were always one of the better actors in cobra Kai and this movie proved why 🙏🏼

[quoththeraven]

Seeing them pay homage and reference to the history of the character, the accuracy of the suit, the CGI looks good and the fact that this looks like a good, fun, action-packed wholesome time - gives me hope.
