“Blue Beetle,” director Ángel Manuel Soto says that he didn’t think too much about the “Latino side of things” when visually crafting the film alongside Mexican screenwriter Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer. The film is unapologetically Latino, from its soundtrack with legendary Latin recording artists to its culturally familiar jokes, visual references and values. It follows recent college graduate Jaime Reyes who is chosen by an ancient alien relic as its symbiotic host, transforming him into a superhero. The director has taken on a worldwide press tour alone as the rest of his cast and crew cannot promote the film due to the current Hollywood strikes. “Blue Beetle” hits US theaters on Friday.
