Blue Beetle tickets are available for pre-order through Fandango ahead of DC’s next cinematic superhero adventure!
Excitement builds as Jaime Reyes prepares to soar onto the silver screen in DC’s highly anticipated film, Blue Beetle. While promotional activities have faced setbacks due to ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, superhero enthusiasts can still secure their Blue Beetle tickets for pre-order through Fandango.
DC’s Blue Beetle represents a significant milestone as it introduces Jaime Reyes, the first Latino lead in a solo superhero film within the DCEU. With the impending reset of certain DCEU aspects by James Gunn and Peter Safran, the film transitions into a new era of superheroes and eagerly awaited character debuts. Fans are particularly thrilled following the release of Blue Beetle: Graduation Day, a limited comic book series by writer Josh Trujillo and artist Adrian Gutierrez.
The Tale of Jaime Reyes:
In Blue Beetle: Graduation Day, Jaime Reyes, an ordinary high school senior, finds his life turned upside down when he becomes bonded to a sentient alien artifact known as a scarab, granting him high-tech armor and transforming him into the hero, Blue Beetle. The story revolves around Jaime’s struggle to balance his dual life – navigating the challenges of high school while battling villains in El Paso.
After a message from an alien civilization, the Reach disrupts his graduation day, and the Justice League intervenes, grounding him temporarily. Jaime’s journey takes a surprising turn when he decides to spend his gap year in Palmera City, working in his tia’s restaurant. However, his focus shifts to discovering the identity of the enigmatic Yellow Beetle and uncovering the hidden secrets that have drawn the Reach back to Earth.
Jaime’s path to becoming a true hero is riddled with dilemmas, including pressure from his parents and friends regarding his future. Will Jaime rise to the occasion and find his purpose, or will the responsibilities of a super-heroine attract the attention of the formidable Justice League?
Blue Beetle’s Stellar Cast:
Xolo Maridueña headlines the film as Jaime Reyes, a recent college graduate returning home with lofty aspirations, only to be thrust into a world beyond his imagination when he stumbles upon the ancient Scarab artifact. The Scarab bestows Jaime with a powerful suit of armor, granting him extraordinary and unpredictable abilities, forever altering his destiny as the Super Hero, Blue Beetle.
Joining Maridueña in the cast are seasoned talents such as Adriana Barraza as Nana, Jaime’s grandmother, Damían Alcázar as his father, Elpidia Carrillo as his mother, and Bruna Marquezine as Jenny Kord. Raoul Max Trujillo portrays Carapax, while Oscar-winner Susan Sarandon takes on the role of Victoria Kord, and George Lopez stars as Jaime’s Uncle Rudy. Belissa Escobedo and Harvey Guillén also deliver compelling performances as Jaime’s sister, Milagro, and Dr. Sanchez, respectively.
