DC's live-action Blue Beetle movie receives an official 2023 theatrical release date, reversing the decision to make it an HBO Max original film.



DC's Blue Beetle movie officially receives a 2023 theatrical release date, confirming it will no longer release on HBO Max. In the aftermath of Justice League and figuring out what the DC Extended Universe's future should look like, Warner Bros. and DC Films began developing a solo film for Jaime Reyes, a.k.a. Blue Beetle. The young Latino superhero is powered by an alien device known as a scarab, which gives Jaime a supersuit equipped with various abilities.

Several years after Blue Beetle was announced to be in development, it was revealed that Charm City Kings' Angel Manuel Soto will direct the movie. It will mark Jaime Reyes' live-action debut and presumably tell his origin based on a script by Gareth Dunnet Alcocer. Early reports suggested that the movie, which stars Cobra Kai's Xolo Maridueña as the titular hero, would release exclusively on HBO Max. This would make Blue Beetle part of the DCEU's initiative to make content strictly for WB's streaming service.


Now that Blue Beetle is gearing up to begin filming, a change in its release model and an official release date have been announced. Warner Bros. and DC Films revealed today that the movie is now a theatrical project. A Blue Beetle release date has been set now for August 18, 2023. It is currently the only movie scheduled to release on this day in 2023.



Now that Blue Beetle's release date is officially set for 2023, it becomes the second DCEU movie slated for release that year. WB and DC have five live-action DCEU movies confirmed for theatrical release dates before Blue Beetle. 2022 is loaded thanks to COVID-19 delays, as The Batman, Black Adam, The Flash, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom are confirmed for releases next year. Shazam: Fury of the Gods is the only other 2023 DCEU movie besides Blue Beetle at this moment, but this announcement could indicate that other 2023 titles could be dated soon.

As exciting as it is for Blue Beetle's release date to be confirmed, the decision to make it a theatrical exclusive release is a big deal. This could be an indicator that WB and DC are even more confident in how the movie is shaping up. That confidence could pay off in a major way at the box office potentially, too. Blue Beetle will be the first Latino-led superhero movie, so putting it out in theaters could draw massive crowds, particularly within the Hispanic community. Movies like Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings were quite popular as they brought more diverse heroes to the forefront, and Blue Beetle could now follow in their shoes.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    "All of this lends the game distinctly last-gen look at times, which is compounded by image quality and frame-rate issues."

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
