"Blue Beetle" director Ángel Manuel Soto has lined up his next project. He is set to helm "The Wrecking Crew", an MGM project starring star Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa.
The actors were in talks for the movie before the actors' strike commenced last month.
"Wrecking Crew" has a script from Jonathan Tropper, the creator of the TV series Warrior. He penned the script and closed his deal before the writers' strike began in June. Jeffrey Fierson, who worked with Momoa on the TV series Frontier, is producing the movie.
The movie is described as a buddy comedy, with other details kept under wraps.
Bautista was recently 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" due out in December.
Soto, meanwhile, just launched "Blue Beetle" into cinemas, with the DC feature breaking ground as the first live-action studio superhero movie starring and created by Latinos.
“We wanted to see our history and our legacy on the big screen, in a way that is respectful, and that was an opportunity that we didn’t want to miss,” Soto recently told THR of his work on the movie. He broke out with his 2020 Sundance movie "Charm City Kings."
