Puerto Rican Ángel Soto will direct the new movie “Transformers”

by

The Puerto Rican Angel Manuel Soto, which was announced in February that he will direct “Blue Beetle”, the first Warner Bros and DC Comics movie starring a Latino superhero, will also direct the next “Transformed” movie.

As published on the Internet Saturday by several pages specializing in film, the project is still in its early stages, and Marco Ramirez, co-creator of the television series “The Defenders”, will be the “showrunner” of the new Paramount movie.

Ramírez will also make something independent that is not necessarily related to the “Transformers” movies, directed by Michael Bay.

  1. Boricua Will Direct “Blue Beetle”: First Movie Starring a Latin American Superhero in DC Comics

Bay directed Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011), Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) and Transformers: The Last Knight (2017), while Transformers: Bumblebee (2018) directed it. Travis Knight.

The announcement of the new “Transformers” movie comes a year after Paramount announced it was developing two films related to the animated television series.

The first was to be written by James Vanderbilt and the other for Joby Harold.

Soto started his career after the project “Charm City Kings”, an adaptation of the documentary “12 O’Clock Boys”, which was presented on the HBO Max platform and won a special jury award at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.

After this project, it was announced at the end of February last year that Soto will direct “Blue Beetle”.

This feature film will focus on the Spanish Jaime Reyes, one of 3 identities he has had in the Blue Beetle comics, a superhero with extraordinary powers derived from a beetle.

This new film will be the first to feature a Spanish lead from those who are part of the cinematographic universe that Warner Bros. articulated in the DC Comics stories.

However, ‘Suicide Squad’ (2016) featured a secondary character of Latin descent named El Diablo, who was played by the actor Jay Hernandez.

The executive producer of “Blue Bettle,” which will hit theaters this fall, is Zev Foreman by Warner Bros.

Blue Beetle was created by Charles Wojtkowski for Fox Comics in 1939 as the “alter ego” of Dan Garrett, an agent who uses experimental vitamins to develop superpowers.

Some of Soto’s first films were “El Púgil” and “La Granja”, the last of which was presented at the 5th Aruba International Film Festival in 2015.
