The Blue Beetle trailer arrived on April 3, giving fans their first glimpse at Xolo Mariduena in action as the young superhero. In the trailer, Jamie Reyes encounters an alien scarab which transforms him into the Blue Beetle with an epic costume. Jamie has to learn how to control his powers and his suit, as he learns that the scarab is “some kind of world-destroying weapon.” A villainous character named Victoria Kord tells Jamie “the scarab chose you, but it belongs to me.” Jamie’s family, which includes his dad Alberto and his mom Rocio, are in danger, and only Jamie can save them.

After the first trailer was released, Angel Manuel Soto and Xolo Mariduena did interviews with the press and spoke about how family is a big theme in the film. Xolo explained, “We see some of these other superheroes, who can hide from their family that they’re a superhero. But [Jamie’s] family is right there with him on that first transformation. To come through this journey together is something we haven’t seen in superhero movies, and it’s the beating heart of this movie.”
Blue Beetle Future
As fans know, the DC Universe is being reshaped under James Gunn and Peter Safran‘s leadership, leaving the fate of many of the heroes we’ve gotten to know on the big screen up in the air. However, Deadline reported on April 3 that Jamie Reyes/Blue Beetle “will be incorporated” in the new DCU. If that’s true, then Blue Beetle will only be the beginning of this new superhero’s story!
