Warner Bros.' upcoming Blue Beetle movie has found its lead villain, with Academy Award-nominated actress Sharon Stone set to play a newly created character named Victoria Kord.

No other details on The Basic Instinct icon's role were provided, but we assume Victoria will be linked to the second Blue Beetle, Ted Kord (or possibly even a gender-swapped version of the character). Raoul Max Trujillo (Mayans M.C.) has also joined the cast as secondary antagonist, Carapax the Indestructible Man.

Cobra Kai star Xolo Maridueña will play Jaime Reyes, with Brazilian newcomer Bruna Marquezine on board as the female lead and Reyes' love interest Penny, and Belissa Escobedo (Sex Appeal, American Horror Stories) as Jaime's younger sister Milagros Reyes. Harvey Guillen’s (What We Do In The Shadows) role is currently being kept under wraps.

Directed by Angel Manuel Soto, the film will focus on Maridueña's take on Reyes, who was introduced back in 2006's Infinite Crisis. The Mexican-American teen was actually the third character to take up the mantle of Blue Beetle after Dan Garret and Ted Kord - although he's arguably eclipsed both in popularity since. Mexican-born writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer penned the screenplay, and John Rickard is on board as producer.

We got our first look at some concept art for Reyes' costume last year during DC FanDome.

The movie was originally being developed as a HBO Max exclusive, but we recently found out that The DCEU's first Latino lead hero will make his feature debut on the big screen on August 18, 2023.

Guessing she's Ted's evil aunt or something?

@OmegaBlack13 - She's probably a gender swapped Ted Kord.

@MitcHendricks - usually when they gender swap a big character like this, they give the character a similar name. Like how taskmaster became Antonia when the original name was Tony.

@MitcHendricks - yeah, weird choice but I’m willing to see how it goes

@MitcHendricks - I don’t think they’d make the Ted Kord adaptation, gender swapped or not, the main villain though.

@OmegaBlack13 - Probably makes her the equivalent of the comics’ Jarvis Kord.

Because that worked so well in Catwoman.

@MasterMix - lol my very first thought was the makeup exec villain from catwoman. I was scarred from that movie
dracula
dracula - 3/29/2022, 4:59 PM
@MasterMix - forgot she was in that

Hopefully Kord has an actual plot that makes sense, not damaging people’s skin with cream that can obviously be traced back to her

Poor cyborg cancelled for a bug.

@Lokiwasright - Blue Beetle has had successful comic runs. Cyborg’s only success has been in team settings

@Lokiwasright - Don't blame Jaime Reyes for Cyborg's actor getting hurt by shitty higher-ups.

Wasn't she teasing a small role in Marvel movie, a few years back? I'm assuming it fell through but I wonder what it was

Wish WW1984 hadnt wasted Maxwell Lord

Would be cool to see Jaime be thrown into the direct aftermath of Ted Kord’s death or disappearance

Maybe Max would be after the Scarab

Maybe the ex-wife or widow of Ted Kord? That's my guess.

@Super12 - Maybe they'll combine Ted with Dan?
