'What is that push that this reluctant hero needs at the end of the day for him to embrace his destiny?'
The Big Picture If there’s one rule that screenwriters tend to follow when it comes to raising the stakes of a story, is the one that tells them to make it personal. A superhero will be compelled to save a bunch of people from a burning building, but what if one of those people is their grandmother? This kind of thinking lead DC studios to convince Blue Beetle director Ángel Manuel Soto that they needed to up the stakes of the original script.
In an interview, Soto told our Editor-in-Chief Steve Weintraub that his and screenwriter Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer’s plan was to originally have “nobody” die in the movie. Turns out it was actually DC Studios that pushed for an emotional death, and in order to even consider killing off Alberto Reyes , Soto had to sit down with Dunnet-Alcocer and come up with answers to some important questions:
“’How can we create the lowest of lows with the family member? And how that low is not just another death in the superhero genre, but how that low actually ends up being a power for him? At the end of the day, what is that push that this reluctant hero needs at the end of the day for him to embrace his destiny?’ When we started to understand that, we were like, ‘This could be maybe a good opportunity to explore magic realism in this sequence where Jaime is about to die.
The Death of Jaime's Father Expands the 'Blue Beetle' World-Building As Soto underscores, having Jaime’s father die also opened the possibility to explore another side of the Latin American culture that relates to death and spirituality. In the scene in which Jaime discovers that his father is gone, both share a conversation in "his vision of limbo or heaven or Earth.
We can’t forget that the death of Jamie’s father doesn’t mean we can’t see Alberto in a potential Blue Beetle sequel. The charismatic character can still return in flashbacks or if Jaime has another near-death experience – which is certainly within the realm of possibility for a superhero.
