DC “Blue Beetle” exposes new developments, and several Latino actors join the crew

Warner Bros. and DC’s “Blue Beetle” project has been in the works for more than a year, but the film is still in the casting phase.

A few days ago, it was reported that actors Bruna Marquezine, Harvey Guillen and Belissa Escobedo will join and play important roles in the film.

Bruna Marquezine will play Penny, a brand new original character that doesn’t exist in DC’s comics.

Belissa Escobedo will also be playing an original character, and she will be Blue Beetle Reyes’ sister, accompanying him throughout his journey to become Blue Beetle.

As for the rest of the cast, Latino actor Xolo Maridueña will play Blue Beetle, directed by Angel Manuel Soto.

Blue Beetle is a superhero under DC. According to the arrangement of the producers, the protagonist of the film will be the third-generation Blue Beetle, Mexican-American Jaime Reyes.

After Shazam was killed, Khaji Da landed in El Paso, Texas, where he was picked up by teenager Jaime.

Later, Khaji Da fused into Jaime’s spine when he was sleeping, and Jaime has since become the third generation of Blue Beetle. At this time, Blue Beetle has the ability to change weapons at will.

Khaji Da slept for a year under the influence of powerful outside energy after Infinite Crisis, and wanted to control Jaime after waking up.

But he was restrained by Jaime’s mind, plus it had a program glitch, and over time he became friends with Jaime.

“Blue Beetle” will be released on August 18, 2023, and at the same time, this film is also DC’s first film to focus on Hispanic characters.
