The film opened number one at the box office, but will that be enough to save DC from another financial disaster?
Quick Links The realm of superhero cinema welcomes a thrilling addition to the DC Universe with Blue Beetle, directed by Angel Manuel Soto. Starring Xolo Maridueña, Blue Beetle introduces audiences to Jaime Reyes, the first son of a humble Latino family whose life takes an unexpected turn when an alien object known as the Scarab grants him newfound abilities.
According to THR, paying for superhero movie lead roles typically hinges on the actors' experience. In the last ten years, first-time superhero leads have consistently received salaries in the mid-six-figure range. Likewise, directors venturing into the Marvel or DC universe for the first time to helm a superhero film can also anticipate earning a similar mid-six-figure salary.
Filming Locations Blue Beetle takes place in the metropolis of Palmera City, a fictional coastal city that bears a resemblance to the sun-soaked shores of Miami, yet features a sci-fi central business district and downtown area that oozes the vibes of both New York and Los Angeles. A good chunk of the main filming went down at Wilder Studios in Decatur, Georgia. They also captured scenes in the actual locales of El Paso, Texas, Los Angeles, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
