DC's Blue Beetle lead actor, Cobra Kai's Xolo Maridueña, is getting dragged on social media for an observation he made about the character.
Xolo Maridueña, star of DC's Blue Beetle, has been criticized due to the actor's perceived lack of comic book movie history knowledge. Blue Beetle is in a complicated position due to the fickle state of DC's movies from the old DCEU that have yet to be released before the studio can move in a new direction with the rebooted DC Universe under James Gunn and Peter Safran.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Maridueña plays Blue Beetle's Jaime Reyes, the young man who gets mixed up with an alien scarab and gets powers and an alien suit of armor, fighting criminals as an incarnation of the DC superhero Blue Beetle. While talking at CinemaCon about what makes his character stand out, Maridueña said that he thinks Jaime is "the only person ever to get superpowers and not want them.
Blue Beetle Has The Chance To See Great Success Or Fail Spectacularly DC's Blue Beetle marks the first time the character will be seen on the big screen, with the Jaime Reyes version of the hero being a fairly recent addition to the comics. Jaime debuted in 2006, quickly becoming an interesting addition to the DC Universe, providing a unique approach due to his relationship with the talking scarab that would become one with the teenager, transforming Jaime into Blue Beetle.
Jaime Reyes' Blue Beetle being a fairly recent creation is a double-edged sword for the movie. On the one hand, the character is part of a new generation of DC heroes, with constant appearances in animations that have helped usher in a fresh era of stories.
Another factor that needs to be considered is how Jaime Reyes' Blue Beetle compares to other superheroes in the cinematic space. Blue Beetle could very well evolve into a money-making machine for DC due to the character possessing some similarities to Spider-Man, which could help get a new audience invested in the franchise. However, the film's trailers have heavily focused on Jaime's family, an aspect that the cast and crew have said to be crucial to the film.
