Ángel Manuel Soto, the director of “Blue Beetle,” is set to helm another feature film titled “The Wrecking Crew.” This MGM project is expected to star Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa, although their involvement was put on hold due to the actors’ strike. The film has a script written by Jonathan Tropper, the creator of the TV series “Warrior,” and is produced by Jeffrey Fierson, who previously worked with Momoa on the TV series “Frontier.”
“The Wrecking Crew” is described as a buddy comedy, but further details about the plot and characters are being kept under wraps. Both Bautista and Momoa are well-known actors who have recently appeared in successful films. Bautista was last seen in theaters with “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” while Momoa played the antagonist in this summer’s “Fast X” and has “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” set for release in December.
Soto, on the other hand, has just released “Blue Beetle” in cinemas. This DC feature is groundbreaking as the first live-action studio superhero movie starring and created by Latinos. Soto expressed his desire to showcase Latino history and legacy on the big screen in a respectful manner. He gained recognition with his 2020 Sundance film “Charm City Kings.”
The news about Soto directing “The Wrecking Crew” was first reported by The Wrap. Bautista is represented by CAA, Meisner Entertainment Group, and Jackoway Austen. Momoa is represented by WME and Edelstein, Laird. Soto is represented by Redefine Entertainment and Behr Abramson. Tropper is represented by CAA, Kaplan / Perrone Entertainment, and Felker Toczek.
