In the film, the Scarab, called Khaji-Da, guides Jaime Reyes (played by “Cobra Kai” breakout star Xolo Maridueña) and helps him discover – and learn to control – his seemingly limitless new powers on his journey to becoming the Super Hero Blue Beetle. In the original version, the Scarab is voiced by singer/actress Becky G.

Filipino talent Inka Magnaye – considered to be royalty in the niche voicework industry in the Philippines – brings her own distinct charm to the voice of the Scarab. Some of the character’s lines are even in Tagalog! Something Pinoy fans should look out for.
