Fans have been excited to see DC’s Blue Beetle film ever since production started. Especially given that the film has gone from being a HBO Max exclusive to an outright theatrical event. It’s a fitting fate for Blue Beetle – which, as you can see in the trailer below, promises lots of action and humor for DC fans.
Of course, fans of the character likely wouldn’t expect anything less. But one exciting aspect is that the film is also supposed to introduce James Gunn’s newly-branded DCU. Though the DC Universe will come into full effect with the likes of Superman: Legacy – Blue Beetle is supposed to play a part in getting us to that point. Especially since the film will be released following The Flash. Now this newly-released trailer is just another step out of the way.
Xolo Maridueña certainly does a great job in and out of costume as the beloved comic book character. The rest of the film’s cast also looks up to par. Hopefully we’ll have more glimpses at the upcoming film in the near future. Thankfully this should be enough to hold fans over and show us just what’s in store.
Here’s the first official trailer for Blue Beetle:
Angel Manuel Soto is directing the film from a screenplay written by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer.
Xolo Maridueña stars as the titular character with Harvey Guillén, Bruna Marquezine as Penny, and Belissa Escobedo as Milagro Reyes. The cast also stars George Lopez as Uncle Rudy, Adrianna Barraza as Nana, Elpidia Carrillo as Rocio, and Damián Alcázar as Alberto.
Blue Beetle is set to be released theatrically on August 18, 2023. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional DC updates or information on Blue Beetle as we have it. For now, though, this first official Blue Beetle trailer looks like quite an exciting time for fans of the character.
