Wreaking Havoc with the Cast and Director of ‘The Wrecking Crew’

January 30, 2026 Mike Manalo

Back in 2023, director Angel Manuel Soto brought us one of the best films in the DCEU with Blue Beetle. As a filmmaker he approaches his films with a kinetic energy and charm that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, while also laughing at the comedic chemistry of his lead actors. He also is a POC filmmaker who does tremendous things by promoting POC talent. And this is all the more apparent with his latest action film, The Wrecking Crew, headlined by stars Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista!
