Last week, Blue Beetle actor George Lopez shared an Instagram photo will fellow cast members Xolo Maridueña, Harvey Guillén and director Ángel Manuel Soto, promising his followers that the first trailer is "coming soon."

Now, a new report from reliable scooper Daniel Richtman is claiming that the teaser, which is expected to run for 2 minutes and 27 seconds, will be released online this coming Monday, April 3.

If accurate, Warner Bros. will likely make an official announcement - possibly with a trailer tease or new poster - over the weekend.

Originally developed for the HBO Max streaming service, fans grew concerned that Blue Beetle may suffer the same fate as the recently cancelled Batgirl, but the movie was given a theatrical release date shortly after Warner Bros. was acquired by Discovery.

"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 Susan Sarandon, Bruna Marquezine, Belissa Escobedo, Adriana Barraza, Elpidia Carrillo, Damián Alcázar, and Raoul Max Trujillo.

Blue Beetle is set to be released in theaters on August 18, 2023.

I’m actually scared that this might be good, but it’s going to flop anyway. That would be a sad outcome for everyone involved.

It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

@marvel72 - It’s certainly the CBM this year that could surprise us more than any other. I hope that it is something new and interesting and isn’t just a by-the-numbers superhero origin.

Yeah looking at recent DC box office numbers, this may flop regardless of quality 😨

Flash will probably make bank based on the two Batmen and Supergirl. Such a shame for Blue Beetle

I've read lots of DC Comics but I never really liked Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle for some reason. I enjoyed his first solo series but everythinf after that never really clicked with me. Interesting to see how this will turn out. I hate the New 52 Shazam/Captain Marvel but I liked both of the movies which were based on that version...

@kider2 - I don’t know him from comics, but liked him in Young Justice and Injustice.

I really hope it's based off the Rogers and Giffen run, that's my favorite Jamie by far

Yeah, they are seeing the trailer's reception before deciding if this goes BACK to HBO Max.

Intrigued to see how this looks, love the actor from Cobra Kai but that's a level of acting and cheese that you can get away with in that show. I'm yet to see how he comes across in a big movie like this

@JakeyChappers - Of the younger actors on the show, Xolo seems like he has the best acting chops. I’m excited to see him in something more serious.

@mountainman - The Teaser was very short but he came across great in that, excited to see the full trailer later today

Love Blue Beetle but this might flop. Trailer this close to release and a character general audiences are very unfamiliar with...

I hope they didn't spend much money making this. If it hits 300M at the box office, I will be shocked.

Hold on, hadn't they cast Ted Kord in this movie? I was going to say I was mostly looking forward to him, the same way I was mostly looking forward to the JSA in Black Adam, but now I can't find his name on the movie's Wikipedia or IMDb pages.

@EarlChai - Didn't they cast Sharon Stone as a female, villanous Ted Kord? yeesh, Catwoman flashbacks.

@EarlChai @ObserverIO Wasn’t Jason Sudeikis cast as him?

@ObserverIO - no, Susan Sarandon is playing Victoria Kord, his Sister

@KaptainKhaos - How on earth did I confuse Sharon Stone and Susan Sarandon? Too much weed.

I wonder what's the budget of this film because with that release date, it's gonna have a lot of competition in the summer. This movie must prevail against Oppenheimer, Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible.

So let's say this is somewhere between Black Adam and Batgirl in quality. No, let's be generous and say it's Shazam 2...

If The Flash movie comes out and actually fixes DC and the audience is fully back on board and then they immediately follow it up with a cheap sub-par Blue Beetle and then cap the year off with a massive, big budget, high-profile terrible, horrible mess of an Aquaman sequel (which is said to be dreadful), then...

Well...

That would be very bad.

@ObserverIO - I think its optimistic to think that the movie featuring a psycho rapist abuser who chokes women is going to sit particularly well with the audience and be the foundation for what is going forward.

I think it's more likely people skip Flash, watch Blue Beetle out of curiosity and then Aquaman ends up performing well as long as Amber Heard is gone.

If Blue Beetle is else-worlds then it has potential, it's effectively DC's mix between Moon Knight and Iron Man.

Anything outside main DC heroes will probably flop. Such a shame. Hope it’s good.

Some teasers would have really done some good. The set pros of the suit drew some hype but it's getting close to release time. Hope the trailer blows people away.
