Blue Beetle Wasn’t Initially Planning To Cast George Lopez: "Skinnier And Wiry"

Blue Beetle concept artist Phil Boutte reveals that George Lopez was not who the creative team anticipated to play Rudy Reyes. In Blue Beetle, an ancient alien artifact, the Scarab, unexpectedly chooses Jaime Reyes, a recent college graduate, to be its new host. Through this symbiotic relationship, Jaime steps into the role of superhero Blue Beetle, gaining a near-indestructible exoskeleton suit along with a number of other abilities. However, Victoria Kord has much darker intentions for the Scarab, and Jaime must fight to protect his family and the world from her violent ambitions.
