Unveiling the Futuristic Marvel: Blue Beetle's CGI Suit Takes DC to Another Level
DC's newest hero shines in his cutting-edge CGI suit, setting a new standard for superhero aesthetics Blue Beetle's remarkable costume brings the character to life like never before, captivating audiences with its unparalleled visual appeal
Xolo Maridueña shares his thoughts on the Blue Beetle movie costume and discusses the impressive CGI used for Jaime Reyes' super suit. While the DCEU is coming to an end, the film Blue Beetle, set to be released in 2023, is actually part of James Gunn's DC Universe. Maridueña, who plays the titular hero, reveals that Blue Beetle is considered the first hero in the new DC Universe, which will officially begin with Superman: Legacy in 2025.
With the release of Blue Beetle just a month away, Maridueña opens up about his experience working on the film and specifically praises the intricate design and advanced technology behind Blue Beetle's super suit. In an interview with Empire Online, the Cobra Kai actor expresses his admiration for the impressive CGI used in the film, stating that he was truly amazed after seeing the final product.
Why Blue Beetle's Super Suit CGI Is So Important
The suit is absolutely amazing, surpassing all expectations. It exudes unparalleled coolness, making it the epitome of suave style. Following the awe-inspiring movie and witnessing the mind-blowing CGI, there was no doubt in my mind that this suit has solidified its position as the ultimate embodiment of coolness.
Given the significance of CGI in major motion pictures, its importance is heightened for DC Studios, particularly with Blue Beetle marking the new DC Universe's tentative beginnings. An exemplar of this is seen in the latest DCEU film, The Flash, which, unfortunately, performed poorly at the box office and elicited mixed reactions from critics. A key point of criticism for this installment was the excessive reliance on CGI and its overall visual impact in the final version.
With the action set pieces and the controversial multiverse cameos predominantly done in CGI, Maridueña's praise for the Blue Beetle costume is timely. The DC Universe's reputation will not benefit if the CGI continues to look disastrous prior to the release of Superman: Legacy. Moreover, the shift of Blue Beetle from being an HBO Max original to a theatrical production will hopefully be reflected in the increased budget.
Judging from the first Blue Beetle movie trailer, the super suit already looks exceptional in action, likely due to the combination of practical production and CGI enhancements. It will be intriguing to observe how the finished CGI is received by the public when the movie is viewed in its entirety. As the release of the film draws near, it would be ideal for DC Studios to unveil a final Blue Beetle trailer, signaling the beginning of the DC Universe era in August.
