Quite a bit of new concept art for Warner Bros.' Blue Beetle has surfaced online, giving us a look at some early designs for both Jaime Reyes' Scarab armor and the suit worn by the villainous Conrad Carapax, aka the Indestructible Man.
A few minor flourishes aside, the Blue Beetle designs all look fairly similar to what ended up on screen, but some wildly different ideas for Carapax were considered, including a suit that was supposed to be a dark mirror of the Scarab armor.
Blue Beetle arrived in theaters last Friday, and hasn't been performing very well at all over the past week. We're still waiting on the updated second weekend box office numbers, but it only just passed the $60 million mark worldwide yesterday evening.
Check out the artwork at the links below.
"Recent college grad Jaime Reyes (Xolo Mariduena) returns home full of aspirations for his future, only to find that home is not quite as he left it," reads the synopsis. "As he searches to find his purpose in the world, fate intervenes when Jaime unexpectedly finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology: the Scarab."
"When the Scarab suddenly chooses Jaime to be its symbiotic host, he is bestowed with an incredible suit of armour capable of extraordinary and unpredictable powers, forever changing his destiny as he becomes the Super Hero Blue Beetle."
The cast also includes Bruna Marquezine, Belissa Escobedo, Adriana Barraza, Elpidia Carrillo, Damián Alcázar, and Raoul Max Trujillo.
Blue Beetle is now in theaters.
