From Warner Bros. Pictures via Cinefilos.it comes the official trailer of Blue Beetle, the film that marks the big screen debut of the DC superhero. Directed by Angel Manuel Soto, the protagonist is Xolo Maridueña in the title role of the film, Blue Beetle, and in that of his alter ego, Jaime Reyes.
Recent college graduate Jaime Reyes returns home full of aspirations for his future but soon discovers that it’s not quite how he left it. While searching the world for his purpose, fate causes Jaime to unexpectedly find himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology: the Beetle. Jamie is suddenly chosen by the Scarab as its symbiotic host and gifted with incredible armor capable of extraordinary and unpredictable powers. His fate will change forever and Jamie will transform into the Super Hero Blue Beetle.
