When filmmaker Angel Manuel Soto received a call from Warner Bros. about potentially directing a DC comic book film, he was prepared to present a completely different idea. Soto, known for his work on Charm City Kings, recently revealed to Den of Geek magazine, “I wanted to pitch ideas, and one of them was the Bane origin story. I always thought that there was something interesting in exploring his reality and how a character like that comes to be… [but] the conversation was not about that.”
Instead, According to the director, the studio said, “There’s this character that we’ve been developing for a couple of years. The Blue Beetle, a Latino superhero.”
