Hi all, Paul here and back with some amazing Blue Beetle adventures whilst I was in London.
Thanks to Warner Bros UK I was lucky enough to go see an early fan screening of Blue Beetle, which is absolutely phenomenal, a new DC comics new superhero movie and is in cinemas from Friday 18th August, not only that we got to meet the fantastic Director Angel Manuel Soto who is such a fun and friendly person he partied with us all after the movie and talked more on the film and making it plus spent time taking photos and videos with us all.
I also attended a special afterparty in the Leadenhall building London on level 42 for a fantastic night of food, amazing themed cocktails and photo ops too, the night was brilliant.
It was a fantastic experience and one I will not forget and the film is really good too (video review coming to all DC World socials Wednesday 16th 6pm)
Will talk more when the embargo lifts and tickets are on sale now, go see this on the largest cinema screen you can!
Thank you to all at Warner Bros UK.
