The promotional campaign of Blue Beetle has only revealed a teaser poster, but soon the situation will change: the first trailer, in fact, is about to arrive.
Actor George Lopez shared a photo of himself with director Ángel Manuel Soto and colleagues Xolo Maridueña and Harvey Guillén on Instagram , commenting:
“THE BEETLES”

STAY TUNED
Following the cancellation of Batgirl , some fans feared that Blue Beetle would also suffer the same fate, having initially been conceived for the HBO Max platform . When Warner merged with Discovery , however, the company made the opposite decision: not only was the film confirmed, but it will even be released in theaters.
The DC superhero is expected for August 17 in Italian cinemas. We do not know if it will have a future in the new DC Universe , considering the renewal plans of James Gunn and Peter Safran , but we’ll see. Meanwhile, you will find the photo below.
