A new clip for Blue Beetle has been released via the film's official Twitter account, and it seems Carapax's origin will involve this tech-based villain.

In a new clip from Blue Beetle, Jaime Reyes is blasted through a brick wall but emerges seemingly unscathed.

Things get interesting when the Scarab tells him that his opponent is charging at him.

"OMAC incoming, Jaime," warns the Scarab.

That's right, the DC Comics sometimes-hero/sometimes-villain will apparently have a role in the film.

For those unfamiliar with OMAC, which sometimes stands for One Man Army Corps or Observational Metahuman Activity Construct, the OMACS are cyborgs—humans that are transformed by a nano-virus into living machines by a rogue A.I. satellite called Brother Eye.

OMAC Blue Beetle film

Most recently, the character featured prominently in the recent Futures End event from DC Comics, where future Batman Terry McGinnis travels back in time to prevent the rise of Brother Eye and avert a future where Brother Eye takes over the world's superhero population by turning them into OMACs.

Recent college grad Jaime Reyes returns home full of aspirations for his future, only to find that home is not quite as he left it. 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 armor capable of extraordinary and unpredictable powers, forever changing his destiny as he becomes the Super Hero BLUE BEETLE.

Starring alongside Maridueña (“Cobra Kai”) are Adriana Barraza (“Rambo: Last Blood,” “Thor”), Damían Alcázar (“Narcos,” “Narcos: Mexico”), Elpidia Carrillo (“Mayans M.C.,” the “Predator” films), Bruna Marquezine (“Maldivas,” “God Save the King”), Raoul Max Trujillo (the “Sicario” films, “Mayans M.C.”), with Oscar winner Susan Sarandon (“Monarch,” “Dead Man Walking”), and George Lopez (the “Rio and “Smurf” franchises). The film also stars Belissa Escobedo (“American Horror Stories,” “Hocus Pocus 2”) and Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”). Soto (“Charm City Kings,” “The Farm”) directs from a screenplay by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer (“Miss Bala”), based on characters from DC.

Pretty sure that's just Carapax, and OMAC is just gonna be the name of the suit.
Shocked at who they got for the cinematographer and composer for this.

@tmp3 - “…OMAC is just gonna be the name of the suit”. That or it’s just a mid movie autonomous villain that Reyes destroys and Carapax is going to be in the 2nd version of that OMAC suit.

Now if Gunn builds towards a Justice League film with Brother Eye as the antagonist, that'd be a really fun move. I really enjoyed New 52's Futures End run.

I keep thinking Brainiac, but I don't know if he'd be better reserved as a Superman villain. I guess you could write him either which way.

This looks dreadful, which is par for the course with DC/WB.

So, if OMAC actually makes an appearance, Jack Kirby is gonna at least get a "created by" in the credits, right?

Too expensive for this. It'd clutter charity stores and even they'll reject them.

I want it to be good, but I have a feeling it is going to fall a bit flat and fall into the "one of many" category.

Iron Man, meets Spider-Man getting his Stark Suit, meets Ant-Man.

- I hope nobody had their feet in the aisle or were standing up when he cut the bus in half because they're gone.
- "Anything you can imagine I can create"......and he imagines a sword?

They really stuck with the "Batman's a Fascist" line?


Will George Lopez have to remind us repeatedly that he is a Latino over and over again like he used to do during his talk show?

What the excuse for boycotting this time? Lol I'll see anything at least once. Also if you want to see an assembly of a 70mm imax print for Oppenheimer, skip to minute 5

@Lokiwasright - I had hope when Superman Returns came out.
I had hope when Man of Steel came out.
I will also have hope when Superman Legacy comes out.

Why are they releasing this?
StSteven
StSteven - 7/16/2023, 3:02 PM
@ThorArms - Because it's the first movie in the DCU. Or it's not. "Superman: Legacy" is. Or "Creature Commandos is. Or it's not. But BB is the first character in the DCU. Or he's not. He is but he's not. Not that BB, but a different BB with the same actor. Or not. Depends on how the movie does. Or it doesn't. Doesn't matter because "The Flash" created the DCU. Or it didn't.

There. All clear now? You're welcome.
