Blue Beetle

Blue Beetle (2023) is a DC sci-fi action film you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Angel Manuel Soto, it's the first superhero movie built around a Latino lead.

Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña) comes back from college to find his family struggling: money is tight and their home is on the line. Then chance hands him an ancient alien artifact, the Scarab, which fuses to his spine and wraps him in living combat armor he has no idea how to control. Worse, the relic is exactly what Victoria Kord — played by Susan Sarandon — wants for her weapons empire. Backing Jaime up is the loud, loving Reyes household, with George Lopez as Uncle Rudy stealing half the scenes.

Where most comic-book films lean grim, this one runs on family warmth and Latino culture, from the music to the kitchen-table chaos. Big fights and a wisecracking alien suit come with the package. Stream Blue Beetle (2023) online on iFILM.
