DC movie Blue Beetle was announced last year as the HBOMax exclusive. WarnerMedia announced earlier this year that two DC movies – Batgirl and Blue Beetle – are in development and they’re aiming to release them exclusively on the streaming service.

But, that’s about the change. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Blue Beetle will have a regular theatrical release after all, and it will be released on August 18, 2023. Angel Manuel Soto is on board to direct the movie, and Cobra Kai star Xolo Maridueña will play the titular role.

Ever since HBOMax launched in May 2020, Warner Bros. wanted to increase the amount of content, and since DC is one of their most known franchise, it’s their best trump to compete with other streaming services.

First Concept Arts Are Teasing Us With Upcoming DC Movies ‘Batgirl’ And ‘Blue Beetle’

Wonder Woman 1984 was released simultaneously on HBOMax and in theaters last Christmas due to the pandemic, and Zack Snyder’s Justice League was released in March 2021. DC shows like Titans, Doom Patrol, and animated series Harley Quinn were all moved to HBOMax upon its launch, and the streamer is developing the upcoming seasons of the mentioned shows.

Batgirl movie is currently in production and it’s still set to debut exclusively on HBOMax next year. Blue Beetle is set to start production soon, and it’s a good thing we’ll be able to see it on the big screen. The first concept arts of both movies were revealed on DC FanDome last October.

Due to the pandemic, Warner Bros. released all of their movies in theaters and on HBOMax simultaneously. Next year, they’re bringing back the regular theatrical release, and movies will land on the streaming service at least 45 days after the premiere in theaters. Disney is using the same way of releasing movies since last summer.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
