Directed by Ángel Manuel Soto, the movie stars Maridueña (Cobra Kai) in the title role and as the character’s alter ego, Jaime Reyes, a recent college grad who, per the studio, unexpectedly finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology: the Scarab. Reyes is suddenly given extraordinary powers after the Scarab choose him to be its symbiotic host, changing the course of his life. Becky G will voice the alien symbiote Khaji-Da.
“I am so excited to finally be able to share with you guys that I am officially a part of the Blue Beetle familia,” the singer announced on Monday. “I have the honor of playing the voice of Khaji-Da who is an alien symbiote who decides who she wants to give superpowers to. And when I say I could not be any more proud of what you guys are going to experience when watching this film, I mean that from the bottom of my heart.”
The film is due to open domestically Aug. 18.
Last week, Becky G released “the Fire Inside.” The artist’s latest release — from the soundtrack to the Eva Longoria-directed film Flamin’ Hot — matches the celebration of Mexican-American heritage in the film that captures the inspiring success story of Richard Montañez, who helped transform Flamin’ Hot Cheetos into a pop culture phenomenon.
