Sharon Stone Is Set To Play Another DC Villain In Upcoming DCEU Movie

By MIKE BEDARD

Sharon Stone has had a long and successful Hollywood career, but the star of “Basic Instinct” and “Casino” doesn’t seem to be slowing down. A recent report by The Wrap revealed that Stone is set to portray a villain named Victoria Kord in the upcoming "Blue Beetle" movie.

Kord will be Stone’s second DC villain, as she previously portrayed Laurel Hedare in 2004's "Catwoman.” Victoria Kord is an original creation for the film, but the last name should be familiar to fans of the “Blue Beetle” comics.

While Jaime Reyes, played by "Cobra Kai" star Xolo Maridueña, will don the mantle of Blue Beetle in the eponymous film, there were Blue Beetles before him in the comics, including Ted Kord. There's no word if Victoria will be related to Ted, or if she'll be a gender-swapped version of him, but it's intriguing to think how a possible relative to another Blue Beetle could cause Jaime trouble in the film.
