With Blue Beetle arriving in just a couple of weeks, Warner Bros. is getting the hype train rolling with a pair of new clips. Each clip features star Xolo Maridueña as Jamie Reyes, who gains a powerful suit of armor when an alien Scarab enters his life. Or more accurately, gets under his skin.
Both scenes are from early on in the movie, as the scarab first attaches itself to a shocked Jamie, who must then take a leap of faith in order to trust the Scarab’s “presence” and abilities.
The film is directed by Angel Manuel Soto, who has a whole trilogy of Blue Beetle films planned if things go well. Blue Beetle will be part of James Gunn’s new DCU and could be sticking around for the long haul. If that’s going to happen, this first movie needs to break the recent slump DC has been in.
Blue Beetle opens in theaters on August 18th.
