Blue Beetle will be HYPE!
The official synopsis for Blue Beetle teases a significant change for Jaime Reyes' introduction to the DCU. Amid uncertainty over the future of the DCU, Blue Beetle fans have been constantly in fear of the movie getting canned following the cancelation of the fully-shot Batgirl. In this case, though, fans can finally be at ease. There's been a major shakeup at DC, with the creation of DC Studios and the hiring of James Gunn and Peter Safran to oversee the DCU. Both new DC leaders want to see Blue Beetle debut in theaters. Gunn has talked on social media about wanting to see people's reactions to actor George Lopez's performance in Blue Beetle, and Safran is a producer on the movie.
ComicBookMovie.com reports that Warner Bros. Discovery shared the first official synopsis for Blue Beetle in its 2023 slate preview. Not much is currently known about Blue Beetle, so DC fans will be eager to find out just what the movie's story entails. The synopsis tells fans of a major change in Jaime's life, as the character will be introduced in the film as a recent college grad rather than a high school student. This should prove exciting, as it positions Jaime's story to have a more mature tone and escapes the restraints of having to see yet another superhero movie confined to a high school setting. Check out the full synopsis below:
Blue Beetle stars Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle, with an additional cast that includes: Bruna Marquezine, Belissa Escobedo, George Lopez, Adriana Barraza, Elpidia Carrillo, Damián Alcázar, Raoul Trujillo, Harvey Guillén and Susan Sarandon. The movie's villain has been reported to be Victoria Kord, played by Sarandon. Victoria's a new character created for the film, but the villain's importance comes from her apparent relation to superhero Ted Kord, who was the Blue Beetle before Jaime's tenure in the comics and was speculated to join the Arrowverse a couple of years back. There has been no mention of Kord making an appearance in the movie, but one has to imagine that even if he doesn't show up for Jaime's debut, the character should join the franchise in a future sequel as the young hero's mentor.
The promotional material for Blue Beetle has relied mainly on the iconic Scarab from the comics. The Scarab is why Jaime gets his powers and is first associated with Dan Garrett, the first Blue Beetle. In the comics, Ted Kord finds the Scarab after believing most of his superhero career it had been destroyed. He loses the artifact in the lair of the wizard Shazam. The Scarab gets sent to El Paso following a fight between Shazam and the Spectre. It hasn't been revealed if any of this backstory will appear in Blue Beetle, but the starting point of Jaime's journey should remain pretty much the same, with the young man finding and bonding with the Scarab as he returns home.
One fascinating aspect that's been revealed about Blue Beetle is its mission of honoring Latino culture. Blue Beetle will serve as DC's first live-action Latino superhero movie, and it could become a cultural phenomenon similar to Marvel Studios' Black Panther if handled correctly. The character of Jaime Reyes is already one of the fan-favorites heroes from DC Comics, so it shouldn't be hard to get audiences to theaters, especially given the perfect job done by DC in recreating the Blue Beetle suit. Victoria Kord actress Sarandon positively surprised fans by saying the movie will have several scenes spoken in Spanish, a first in the genre. The movie's talented and diverse cast, allied with Jaime Reyes' charismatic nature and the mystery surrounding the Scarab, should make for an exciting film when Blue Beetle debuts in 2023.
