Warner Bros and DC has really struggled trying to get their theatrical universe going. I for one have enjoyed almost all of them, but sadly a lot of people have not. One of the more obscure that surprised me that was moving forward was Blue Beetle. The film stars Adriana Barraza, Damían Alcázar, Elpidia Carrillo, Bruna Marquezine, Raoul Max Trujillo, Susan Sarandon, and George Lopez, Belissa Escobedo, Harvey Guillén and Cobra Kai star Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes aka Blue Beetle from director Angel Manuel Soto.

 

Blue Beetle follows recent college grad Jaime Reyes who returns home full of aspirations for his future, only to find that home is not quite as he left it. As he searches to find his purpose in the world, fate intervenes when Jaime unexpectedly finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology: the Scarab. When the Scarab suddenly chooses Jaime to be its symbiotic host, he is bestowed with an incredible suit of armor capable of extraordinary and unpredictable powers, forever changing his destiny as he becomes the super hero Blue Beetle.

 

In addition to the film this release offers up bonus content including documentaries, featurettes and more. Witness the birth of a new hero when Blue Beetle hits premium digital on September 26th and then on 4K, Blu-ray and DVD on October 31st from Warner Bros Home Entertainment.
