Blue Beetle’s Digital Release: Here’s what we know so far

DC fans eager to watch Ángel Manuel Soto's Blue Beetle starring Xolo Maridueña, Adriana Barraza, and Damián Alcázar will have to wait a bit longer. Despite a box office collection of $128 million, lower than DC's usual standards, the movie won't be available on Max in October 2023, disappointing many.

The movie's $104 million production budget and the impact of strikes may have contributed to its box office performance. Nonetheless, Blue Beetle offers action and family-centric themes, making it a worthwhile watch.

As for streaming, Max's October 2023 line-up doesn't include Blue Beetle. While it's owned by Warner Bros., which typically hosts WB movies, the release date of the movie is expected to be in November. It may come around Thanksgiving.


In the meantime, fans can also buy or rent the movie digitally on platforms like Amazon Prime and Vudu. It became available digitally on September 26. Movies generally spend four to six weeks on video on demand (VOD) before heading to streaming services. Therefore, a mid-November release on Max seems likely.
