Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña) graduates college and goes home to Palmera City, a hyped up version of Mexico City. He finds that the family business is finished, due to the heart problems of his father (Damian Alcazar). His sister, mother, Nana and Uncle Rudy (George Lopez) are all worried about the future, which includes losing the family home to a new development by Kord Industries, run by Victoria Kord (Susan Sarandon). Her niece Jenny Kord (Bruna Marquezine) wants no part of the evil side of the family business, which includes a new weapon that attaches a Blue Beetle scarab charm to the brain and body, creating a super soldier. Through a series of events, Jaime is chosen by the Beetle charm, and he’s out to save his family and stop the Kord’s evil, including their protector, Indestructible Man (Raoul Max Trujillo).

”Blue Beetle” in theaters since August 18th. Featuring Xolo Maridueña, Brana Marquezine, Damián Alcázar, Adriana Barraza and George Lopez. Written by Gareth Dunnet-Alocer. Directed by Angel Manuel Soto. Rated “PG-13”
