‘Blue Beetle’ Announces Streaming Premiere Date

Like so many DC films currently, Blue Beetle was not successful in theaters. It grossed simply $130 million in theaters worldwide. It looks as if lots of people figured they may simply wait to see the film on streaming.

Well, wait not. The movie premieres on Max subsequent week. And as somebody who did see Blue Beetle in theaters, I’ll say: It’s price a watch.

Cobra Kai’s Xolo Maridueña stars as Jaime Reyes, an odd child who’s given a mystical scarab that transforms him right into a superhero, the Blue Beetle. He‘s got a sentient suit of alien armor, the ability to create weapons out of thin air, and a family that is privy to all of it, and freaking out that their beloved son is suddenly imbued with godlike power. (Wouldn’t you?)

Here is the movie’s official synopsis:

Recent faculty grad Jaime Reyes returns residence stuffed with aspirations for his future, solely to search out that residence just isn’t fairly as he left it. As he searches to search out his objective on the planet, destiny intervenes when Jaime unexpectedly finds himself in possession of an historic relic of alien biotechnology: the Scarab. When the Scarab all of a sudden chooses Jaime to be its symbiotic host, he’s bestowed with an unbelievable go well with of armor able to extraordinary and unpredictable powers, endlessly altering his future as he turns into the Super Hero BLUE BEETLE.

It isn’t going to reinvent the wheel or something, however I assumed Blue Beetle was a very stable superhero journey — and would seemingly make an excellent alternative for one thing to look at on streaming on a Friday evening. It’s actually higher than all the opposite current DC bombs like Black Adam and Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

I like Xolo Maridueña from Cobra Kai and thought he acquitted himself very properly as Jaime — though my favourite character within the film was his grandmother, performed by Adriana Barraza. She steals scene after scene, to the purpose that I began to fantasize about her character getting the scarab and turning into a grandma superhero. Wouldn’t that be one thing?

Blue Beetle premieres on Max on November 17 — one week from immediately.
