Is all set for the long-awaited debut of Jaime Reyes’ debut on the big screen. As Blue Beetle‘s release approaches, the first reactions to the latest DCU adventure are in to celebrate the raise of a new hero.

Starring Cobra Kai’s Xolo Mariduena as the titular character, the movie is directed by Angel Manuel Soto and has an incredible cast that includes Susan Sarandon as the main villain, Victoria Kord; Brazilian actress Bruna Marquezine as Ted Kord’s daughter Jenny; Raoul Trukillo as the powerful Caparax; George Lopez; Harvey Guillen, Damian Alcazar; Belissa Escobedo; Adriana Barraza; Elpidia Carrillo; and Becky G.

Blue Beetle follows the story of Jaime from the moment he returns home after graduating from college, finding out his family is going through a difficult time financially. To help them out, Jaime visits Kord Tower after Jenny asked him to meet her there. What he wasn’t expecting was ending up with an ancient artifact under his guard, which ultimately chooses him to be the next Blue Beetle.

The movie is coming to theaters on August 18, but the first reactions are already here, and it seems like things are looking good for Jaime’s future.

“Blue Beetle is amazing! Had so much fun watching & speechless of how cool the film is. Xolo Mariduena’s energy on screen is contagious. Bruna Marquezine shines as Jenny (how much screen time she has); Xolo & Bruna’s chemistry is unreal/The Reyes family has a spectacular dynamic.”
