Actress and recording artist Becky G has joined DC’s upcoming “Blue Beetle” in a crucial role, she announced on her social media on Monday.
The singer is voicing the Scarab, an alien-created artificial intelligence that gives superpowers to Blue Beetle, played by “Cobra Kai” breakout and fan favorite Xolo Maridueña.
In the DC Comics, Scarab has been passed down through several of the heroes who have operated as Blue Beetle.

However, it also has a mind of its own and can sometimes take control of its host, leading to conflicts and challenges for the Blue Beetle.

It's been a long time coming, but Charlie Day's directorial debut is finally upon us. "Fool's Paradise" tells the tale of a man who, though recently released from a mental health facility and unable to speak, becomes a Hollywood star. In addition to writing and directing, Day plays the silent man in question, tapping into heroes of the silent era such as Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, to take a satirical look at the inner workings of Hollywood.
A "Fool's Paradise" trailer dropped back in April and showcased the impressive roster of stars that Day managed to amass for his movie. Ken Jeong co-stars as an ambitious yet struggling publicist looking to capitalize on Day's character's likeness to a famous method actor named Latte Pronto — also played by Day. But there's more. On his journey through the film industry's unseemly underbelly, Day encounters numerous characters played by such stars as Adrien Brody,...

Charlie Day’s feature directorial debut hits theaters Friday when Roadside releases Fool’s Paradise, a satire in which he plays a man who is unable to speak but becomes an accidental Hollywood star. Day, who voices Luigi in the smash hit The Super Mario Bros. Movie, is no stranger to leading his own projects.
Back when he was stuck in the audition trenches, Day met fellow aspiring actors Rob McElhenney and Glenn Howerton, and the trio realized they shared not only comedic sensibilities but also frustrations about landing roles. They started making short films at home, and these would ultimately evolve into It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which premiered on FX in August 2005 with all three as executive producers. (It moved to Fxx in 2013.)
“There was a real magic at making the show in the first three, four or five seasons that can’t be recaptured because we [now] know the characters so well,...

The long-awaited trailer for DC’s “Blue Beetle” movie is finally here, as an ancient artifact “the scarab,” takes hold of Jaime Reyes and transforms the teenager into a superhero.
The kicker is that Reyes’ “transformation” isn’t a solo affair as in most comic book origin stories, but he transforms into an armored superhero in front of his family, a Latino family nonetheless!
Upon his transformation, the suit thrusts Reyes into the atmosphere and the teenager soars into space within seconds while he ponders his fate. Watch the video above.

It looks like Peacemaker and Aquaman will reunite soon. Though unfortunately, I don’t think any fish fun will be involved. Deadline has confirmed that John Cena and Jason Momoa have signed on to star in an action-comedy called Killer Vacation from Warner Bros. John Rickard and Peter Safran will produce the upcoming film, which was set before Safran. James Gunn became Co-Chairmen and CEO of DC Studios. Thus far, the plot remains under wraps, but the script comes from Brightburn writers Mark and Brian Gunn. Given that it’s called Killer Vacation, I imagine someone dying or Cena and Momoa are

Wrestler-turned-actor John Cena and ‘Aquaman’ Jason Momoa are to team up for the “rowdy” comedy ‘Killer Vacation’ at Warner Bros.
Plot details are currently being kept under wraps but from the title alone we imagine it involves a holiday gone wrong.

If there are two action stars that understand the importance of not taking themselves too seriously, they are John Cena and Jason Momoa. Sure, the two of them can headline big action blockbusters, but that doesn't mean they can't do projects like "Blockers," "Slumberland," or "Peacemaker" every once and a while. Perhaps that balance between being talented action stunt-men and being eager to show their silly sides are why they are as charming as they are.
It also sounds like that balance won't be going anywhere anytime soon. Variety reported that the two stars will be joining forces on an upcoming action comedy titled "Killer Vacation." If a movie with that title starring Cena and Momoa isn't enough to hook you, then what in the world will?
Details on "Killer Vacation" beyond its existence are currently a bit slim. That doesn't mean, however, that there's nothing about it for us to speculate about.

John Cena and Jason Momoa are partnering up to star in “Killer Vacation,” a new action-comedy in the works at Warner Bros.
Though plot details are being kept under wraps, one can probably expect a rowdy adventure in the vein of the blockbusters for which both are known. Cena headlined HBO Max’s “Peacemaker” series, a spinoff of his character in 2021’s “The Suicide Squad.”
Momoa has starred as Aquaman in a handful of movies and television series, most recently making a cameo at the end of “Peacemaker.” Other than that brief exchange, the actors have never shared the screen together.
Mark and Brian Gunn, the team behind the Dwayne Johnson-starring “Journey 2: Mysterious Island” and “Brightburn” will collaborate on the script. A director has not been named.

As DC Studios’ new co-chairmen and CEOs, James Gunn and Peter Safran aren’t just the heroes DC deserves. Unlike the Dark Knight, they’re also ones it desperately needs.
Hiring Gunn — director of “The Suicide Squad” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” — and Safran, manager-turned-producer of “The Conjuring” and “Aquaman,” ended a dramatic and months-long leadership search. Following the merger of Warner Bros. and Discovery in April, new CEO David Zaslav signaled his hopes for a 10-year plan for the brand and a desire to find a Kevin Feige of his own who could create a division to rival Marvel. Then-dc leader Walter Hamada, clearly not whom Zaslav had in mind, exited last week. Talks with “The Lego Movie” producer Dan Lin went nowhere.

Sharon Stone is set to play the supervillain in HBO’s upcoming DC comic adaptation of ‘Blue Beetle.’
Stone will join ‘Cobra Kai’ actor Xolo Maridueña who takes on the leading role of Jaime Reyes.
The story will centre on the 2006 Jamie Reyes iteration of the character – a Mexican-American teenager who discovers the Blue Beetle scarab on the way home from school with two of his best friends Paco and Brenda, the trinket half-buried in a disused lot.
Also in news – Seth Rogen joins Aziz Ansari’s ‘Being Mortal’
Reyes takes the scarab home, curious as to what it might be. That night, it comes alive and grafts itself to the base of Jaime’s spine – providing him with a suit of extraterrestrial armour that can be modified to enhance his speed and strength as well as to create weapons, wings, and shields.
Angel Manuel Sot will direct from a script by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer.
