Blue Beetle
"Blue Beetle" is a superhero movie based on the DC character Jaime Reyes, also known as Blue Beetle. The film was made by DC Studios and The Safran Company, and Warner Bros. Pictures distributed it. It's part of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), being the 14th installment.
The movie was directed by Ángel Manuel Soto and written by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer. The main character, Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle, is played by Xolo Maridueña. Other notable actors in the film include Adriana Barraza, Damián Alcázar, Raoul Max Trujillo, Susan Sarandon, and George Lopez.
The idea for a movie featuring Jaime Reyes began in November 2018, with Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer as the screenwriter. Ángel Manuel Soto was chosen to direct the film in February 2021, initially for HBO Max. Xolo Maridueña was cast in August, and later the decision was made to have a theatrical release in December.
Filming took place from late May to mid-July in various locations, including Wilder Studios in Decatur, Georgia, as well as El Paso, Texas, and Puerto Rico. The movie premiered in El Paso on August 15, 2023, and was released in the United States on August 18, 2023, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
While the film received generally positive reviews, it didn't perform well at the box office. It earned just under $125 million worldwide, which was less than its production budget of $104 million, making it the lowest-grossing film in the DCEU.
Blue Beetle Plot
In the icy land of Antarctica, a company called Kord Industries, led by its CEO Victoria Kord, discovers an ancient alien artifact called the Scarab.
Meanwhile, a young man named Jaime Reyes returns to his hometown, Palmera City, after finishing law school. He finds out that his family is struggling financially and on the verge of losing their home.
Jaime's sister Milagro helps him get a job at Victoria's mansion, but they both get fired after Jaime intervenes in an argument between Victoria and her niece Jenny. Jenny tells Jaime to meet her the next day at Kord Tower for a potential job opportunity.
The next day, Jenny realizes that Victoria is misusing the Scarab for her dangerous projects. She manages to get the Scarab and passes it to Jaime hidden in a fast-food box. When Jaime opens the box, the Scarab merges with him, transforming him into a powerful armored hero.
Jaime rescues Jenny from Victoria's forces and learns that the Scarab, named Khaji-Da, chose him as its host. With help from family and friends, they confront Victoria and her bodyguard Carapax, who is enhanced with OMAC technology. Jaime embraces his role as the new Blue Beetle and fights against Carapax, ultimately sparing him.
After a fierce battle, they defeat Victoria and expose her evil deeds. Jenny takes charge of Kord Industries, vowing to assist the Reyes family in recovering from their losses. In a tragic turn, Jaime's father passes away due to a heart attack.
In the end, the Reyes family receives support from their community and begins rebuilding their lives. Jaime and Jenny grow closer, and Jenny takes on the responsibility of restoring the Kord legacy. A surprise revelation in a recording hints that Jenny's father, Ted, might still be alive, setting the stage for future adventures.
