A new superhero has arrived!

The life of Jamie Reyes, played by Xolo Ramirez, is forever changed when he unwillingly becomes a host for an ancient relic that allows him to transform into the superhero, Blue Beetle.

Though he's no Superman, this DCU hero's powers rival those of any of the Justice League members.

And comic book lovers know that Jamie eventually joins the superhero gang, which could mean fans may get a surprise cameo in the new film!

Catch DC's newest hero's origin tale when Blue Beetle hits theaters August 18.

Lights, camera, murder!

Only Murders in the Building is back for a third season, with the world's favorite mystery-solving trio at the helm.

Only this time, the stage is where Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short will have to solve the newest crime.

Already hailed as the "wildest" season yet, the comedy-thriller will also be bringing in newcomers Paul Rudd, Meryl Streep, and Jesse Williams.

Will Mabel, Charles, and Oliver be able to stop the killer this time? Probably, but tune in anyway to catch the third season of Only Murders in the Building, premiering August 8 on Hulu.
