    “Blue Beetle” Movie Finally Happening, Angel Manuel Soto Directing

    Back in 2015, it was announced that a possible Blue Beetle / Booster Gold film was in the works at Warner Bros. Pictures. This of course prompted casting rumors, most of which centered on Nathan Fillion and Alan Tyduk to portray the DC Comics heroes. Nothing really came of that particular project.

    This morning, The Wrap ran an exclusive story announcing that Angel Manuel Soto (“Charm City Kings”) has been tapped by WB to direct a Blue Beetle movie.

    It’ll center on Jaime Reyes, the third person to carry the mantle of Blue Beetle. He’s a Mexican American teenager, which would make this the first major superhero stand alone film to star a Latino.

    In a statement to The Wrap, Soto said:


    “It is an honor to direct Blue Beetle, the first Latino superhero film for DC. I want to sincerely thank everyone at Warner Bros. and DC for trusting me to bring Jaime Reyes to life. I can’t wait to make history together.”


    We will of course let you know what we hear about this and other superhero news.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
