“It is an honor to direct Blue Beetle, the first Latino superhero film for DC,” Soto told The Wrap. “I want to sincerely thank everyone at Warner Bros. and DC for trusting me to bring Jaime Reyes to life. I can’t wait to make history together.”

Blue Beetle is one of DC’s popular and underused characters. He is one of the cornerstone members of the Teen Titans, has featured prominently in the animated series Young Justice, and has even briefly served on the Justice League.

According to The Wrap, production on Blue Beetle is set to begin this fall.
