Xolo Maridueña made his superhero debut as the lead in DC’s live-action ‘Blue Beetle’ movie in 2023. Maridueña will continue as Blue Beetle in an upcoming animated series for DC Studios.
In an interview with Hablemos de Cine, Maridueña was asked about taking Jaime to the ‘Blue Beetle’ show and beyond.
“There’s only one ‘Blue Beetle.’ I’m so excited,” Maridueña said. “To get to continue the story of Jaime is an honor and I just can’t wait to see where the heck it goes. I just know it’s about to be the next craziest anime.”
‘Blue Beetle’ was one of the most celebrated films among the final entries of the previous DC regime. The movie was also largely disconnected from other DC films, making it easier to transition into the new DCU.
‘Blue Beetle’ is a 2023 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character Jaime Reyes, also known as Blue Beetle. Directed by Ángel Manuel Soto and written by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, the film stars Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes. In the movie, Jaime discovers an alien scarab that grants him super-powered armor, marking the beginning of his superhero journey.
