The movie features a mostly Latino cast, Latino writers and a Latino director, carving a major milestone in Hollywood history.
"Blue Beetle" tells the story of what happens to recent college graduate Jaime Reyes, played by"Cobra Kai" star Xolo Mariduena, after he's chosen to be the host of an ancient alien suit of armor and becomes superhero Blue Beetle.
"It's an incredible opportunity to show the rest of the country, if not the world, the power and the universality of our Latin heritage -- the family values, the connection to our community," graphic novelist Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez told CBS New York's Zinnia Maldonado. "One of the first artists to draw at Timely Comics was actually Puerto Rican Alejandro Schaumburg. [He] was from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, and he used to draw Captain America," he said.
Reilly says growing up in a Puerto Rican household, he related to the movie on many different levels. Both Miranda-Rodriguez and Reilly have two hopes: A"Blue Beetle" sequel and more Latino representation in mainstream films.
