With the movie’s production nearing an end on the film, star Bruna Marquezine took to her Instagram (via Reddit account DCEU Leaks) to share a new Blue Beetle BTS set photo. The image gives the best look yet at the DCEU hero’s costume, with Maridueña attached to wires in his super suit. This upload came about, after a few months of the initial leaks. Although DC or Warner Brothers are yet to officially release any stills from the shoot. Maridueña took to his own Instagram the day they leaked thanking fans for the outpour of love regarding his look in the comics-accurate suit.

This comes as a major plus, for the media franchise; given their counterpart, Marvel, has been criticized for its oversaturated suits and bland colors. Largely varying in comic accuracy from character to character and the aforementioned flaws, Marvel has been at the receiving end of innumerable negative criticism lately. The new BTS image is sure to add to Marvel’s worries. On the other hand, for DC fans expectations are high from the release. With people appreciating the (now uncommon) practical approach to adapting the superhero suit.
