Just like The Fast and the Furious, DC's Blue Beetle will be about family. Director Angel Manuel Soto and star Xolo Maridueña appeared at a CinemaCon panel to promote the movie, while also hyping up the superhero's suit.

Soto and Maridueña, who plays the eponymous superhero Jaime Reyes, mentioned the suit is basically a young nerd's fantasy. This was teased in the first trailer for Blue Beetle, where the suit says, "Whatever you can imagine, I can create." Reyes then conjures up a gigantic sword that rivals Cloud's from Final Fantasy VII.

Meanwhile, Soto wanted to instill how important family is to this DC film, the first to star a Latino hero. He mentioned how the Reyes family is there when the scarab chooses Jaime and gives him his superpowers, for instance. Maridueña added that Jaime doesn't even want his superpowers at first. But through his family, he finds his strength as the hero.
