Blue Beetle

"The universe sent you a gift, and you need to figure out what you're gonna do with it."

- Rudy Reyes to Jaime Reyes

Blue Beetle is a 2023 film based on the DC Comics character, the Blue Beetle, and the sixteenth film in the DC Extended Universe. It premiered on August 15, 2023, in El Paso, Texas and is scheduled to premiere on August 18, 2023, in the United States.

The film stars Xolo Maridueña, Adriana Barraza, Damián Alcázar, Elpidia Carrillo, Bruna Marquezine, Raoul Trujillo, with Susan Sarandon, and George Lopez, and is directed by Angel Manuel Soto with screenplay by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer.

While Blue Beetle is a DC Extended Universe production, its lack of connectivity to previous projects made the content within suitable to be connected to the DC Universe franchise. As a result, despite its status, the character of Blue Beetle will be the first DC Universe character to debut, though the film itself is not part of the new franchise.

Synopsis
Recent college grad Jaime Reyes 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.
