As we're treated to shots of Blue Beetle in action, George Lopez as Jamie's Uncle Rudy advises, \"The universe has sent you a gift, and you have to figure out what you're gonna do with it.\"

Jamie later says of his new gear, \"It's like Batman stuff.\" Uncle Rudy fires back, \"Batman's a fascist.\"

The film, directed by Angel Manuel Soto, also stars Adriana Barraza, Damían Alcázar, Elpidia Carrillo, Bruna Marquezine, Raoul Max Trujillo, Belissa Escobedo and Harvey Guillén.

\"Blue Beetle\" flies into U.S. theaters on Aug. 18.
