After a long production process that saw multiple reshoots and no new promotional materials released in the past couple of months, Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Films have released a brand new trailer and poster for "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" - the long awaited sequel to 2018's "Aquaman" that's once again directed by James Wan and has Jason Momoa reprising his role as Arthur Curry/ Aquaman!
Get ready to shout “KHAJI-DA!” with some Philippine pride in mind when you go to see “Blue Beetle” in theaters, as Warner Bros. Philippines has announced that Filipina voice talent and content creator Inka Magnaye is voicing the Scarab in the Philippine release of the superhero movie!
Here’s the press release from WB themselves:
MANILA, August 2 – Warner Bros. Philippines has announced today that Filipina voice talent and content creator Inka Magnaye will voice the Scarab – an ancient alien relic pivotal to the titular DC Super Hero’s story – for the Philippine release of Warner Bros. Pictures’ upcoming action-adventure “Blue Beetle.”In the film, the Scarab, called Khaji-Da, guides Jaime Reyes (played by “Cobra Kai” breakout star Xolo Maridueña) and helps him discover – and learn to control – his seemingly limitless new powers on his journey to becoming the Super Hero Blue Beetle. In the original version, the Scarab is voiced by singer/actress Becky G.Filipino talent Inka Magnaye – considered to be royalty in the niche voicework industry in the Philippines – brings her own distinct charm to the voice of the Scarab. Some of the character’s lines are even in Tagalog! Something Pinoy fans should look out for.
Magnaye, whose rich body of work includes voicework for Philippine Airlines (hers is that very soothing voice in the Philippine flag carrier’s in-flight instructional safety announcement), Pond’s, Smart, Globe, Nissin, Mitsubishi, and popular podcast “Sleeping Pill With Inka,” is the first Philippine-based Filipino talent to do voice-over work in a DC film. She will be properly credited too; watch for Magnaye’s name in the credits!

Two years after DC FanDome and giving the world its first look at Robert Pattinson as vengeance with the very first teaser trailer of “The Batman”, director Matt Reeves has officially penned a new “first look” deal with Warner Bros. for TV and film projects as reported by The Hollywood Reporter - meaning that development on The Batman sequel is moving forward as well as the “Penguin” series spin-off that sees Colin Farell back as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot.
The new deal comes after the success of the new Batman film - which was released last March and is a separate universe that is not connected to the DC Extended Universe. It also comes after the Warner Bros. and Discovery merger, with Warner Bros. discovery CEO David Zaslev shelving a lot of unreleased projects like “Batgirl” and pledging a new “10-year plan” for DC Films that seeks to restructure their movies and make them better.
Today marks a big occasion for one of Hollywood’s talented actors/ directors, as Ben Affleck turns 50 years old and is celebrating a lot more than just his birthday! Recently getting married for the second time to former fiancee Jennifer Lopez, the “Good Will Hunting” writer and “Argo” director is also going to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne/ Batman once more in not one but two DC Films next year - namely “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” and “The Flash”! Aquaman actor Jason Momoa spilled the beans a couple of weeks back, so fans of Batfleck can look forward to seeing more of the character again - even if it’s just a cameo or short appearance.
Happy Birthday, Ben Affleck!

Definitely what could have been.
