DC’s Blue Beetle movie set for theatrical release in 2023

December 22, 2021 by Gary Collinson

With all of the chaos caused by the pandemic, we’ve seen a number of feature films skip their theatrical release in favour of a streaming debut, but here’s one project moving in the other direction.

Originally set as an HBO Max Original, Warner Bros. and DC Films have announced that their Blue Beetle movie is heading to the big screen and will open in cinemas in August 2023.

Blue Beetle is being directed by ngel Manuel Soto (Charm City Kings) and will see Xolo Maridueña (Cobra Kai) taking on the role of Jamie Reyes, a Mexican-American teenager who discovers a mysterious scarab which binds itself to his spine, providing him with extraterrestrial armour that he uses to become a superhero.
