'Something worth watching': Fans elated as DC drops the official trailer of 'Blue Beetle'

Xolo Mariduena's 'Blue Beetle' busts out a buster sword in first trailer

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Feeling all blue might not be all that bad especially for DC as they have recently dropped the new trailer for 'Blue Beetle'. In the comic world, over the course of a century, three different men from very different backgrounds have taken on the heroic mantle of the 'Blue Beetle,' each making their mark in different ways. The original Beetle was an archaeologist named Dan Garrett, who discovered an ancient Scarab in an old Egyptian tomb that gave him superpowers which he used to fight crime. He was succeeded by the brilliant Ted Kord, who had no powers to speak of but carried on the 'Blue Beetle; legacy with just his wits and his fists, along with a whole lot of gadgets and a sharp sense of humor. However, the most recent and the 'Blue Beetle' everyone should be interested in is Jaime Reyes, a teenager from El Paso, Texas who bonded with Dan Garrett's Scarab. In DC's live-action world, we will see Netflix's 'Cobra Kai' actor, Xolo Mariduena wear the 'Blue Beetle's suit. Read more to find out what happens in the trailer.
