This past summertime , Warner Bros. free its other swan birdcall to the DCEU inBlue Beetle . If you were one of the folk who did n’t see the movie when it was in theaters back in mid - August and forwentthe physical releasein favor of cyclosis , good news : it ’s hittingMaxnext Friday , October 17 .
The feature film film debut for darling comic book characterJaime Reyeshad solid recap when it first landed , peculiarly for Xolo Maridueña ’s carrying into action and the Reyes family at large , along with being the most low interest superhero movie in quite some time . But at $ 129 million worldwide , it distinctly did n’t take off with audience enough to give it a stab . Much of that was out of the film ’s hand : it had the unfortunate luck of release in the middle oftwo Hollywood strikes , meaning stars like Maridueña and George Lopez could n’t get out there and promote it in any capacity without getting into trouble . It also did n’t help that it was coming amid a ecumenical muted response for superhero fare this yr , and coming out months afterThe Flashdid comme il faut damage to both the DC and Warner Bros. brand .
With thestrikes now over , it feels like the right time for Blue Beetle to get some attention on cyclosis . ( Fun fact : it was to begin with think to be a Max spill before Warner Bros. decide it should receive a theatrical test . ) OnInstagram , Maridueña posted set photos and called work on the film “ sacred … From the family you see on screen to the one i made off , this pic has tore me down and built me back up in elbow room I ’ll never be able to word . [ … ] Thank you for everyone who supported and shew out , the reaction has been irresistibly positive and there is n’t a hebdomad that passes by without think of the Blue Beetle Battalion ! ! ” Other star such asBruna Marquezine(Jenny Kord ) have done their own individual posts as well .
