The film, which is directed by Ángel Manuel Soto, promises to be a breath of fresh air in the superhero genre and is said to be faithful to the original with a lot of heart in the production.
For those unfamiliar with the character, Blue Beetle first appeared in comic books back in 1939 and has been a fan favorite ever since.
