MANILA — Voice artist

Inka Magnaye is more than excited for Filipinos to watch DC’s upcoming superhero movie “Blue Beetle” where she participates in a special role.

“Blue Beetle” follows the story of Jaime Reyes, played by “Cobra Kai”

Maridueña, who is chosen by an ancient alien relic called the Scarab as its host, turning him into the titular hero.

Singer-actress Becky G voices

Khaji Da, the entity that controls the Scarab. But in the Philippine release of the movie, it will be voiced by Inka. This makes Inka the first Filipino voice actress based in the Philippines to participate in a DC film, and the Philippines is the only country in Asia where a local artist will be contributing their voice to the film.

Apart from her contribution to the movie, Inka believes Filipino fans will resonate with Jaime and “Blue Beetle” as a whole because of how the film heavily focuses on family compared to other superhero movies where
