Blue Beetle Movie Concept Art Reveals First Look At DC Hero’s Costume

New concept art for the Blue Beetle movie shows off the DC hero's costume. Blue Beetle is a character that originated in Charlton Comics, later making the jump over to DC Comics during Crisis on Infinite Earths. The superhero gets his powers from an ancient mystical scarab that grants the user the Blue Beetle armor and has a number of superhero features. Jaime Reyes is the most recent Blue Beetle, a Latinx teenager who discovers the scarab in a vacant lot and uses the armor to fight crime in his hometown. He eventually becomes a full-fledged hero, joining the Teen Titans and continuing the legacy of his predecessors.

Cobra Kai's Xolo Maridueña recently took the lead role as Reyes for the Blue Beetle feature film, which is his first major film role after the success of the show. Maridueña is being directed by Angel Manuel Soto (Charm City Kings) with a script by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer (Miss Bala). Soto said of the casting of Maridueña that "His persona is pretty much the character of Jaime Reyes. It was a natural fit.” The film is set to be released on HBO Max sometime in 2022.

During DC FanDome, Maridueña, Soto and Dunnet-Alcocer sat down for a brief conversation about the upcoming film and shared a first look at the costume via new concept art. The costume looks very comic accurate, but with an updated, cinematic spin. Another interesting note is the "Kord Industries" sign in the background, which is a nod to Ted Kord, the character who previously held the Blue Beetle Armor. Maridueña said that he challenged any DC Hero's costume to best the Blue Beetle's and talked about his excitement for the project, saying, "I’m ready, we’re gonna shake things up and we’re gonna bring you guys a story you haven’t seen before." Check out the concept art below:

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
