Blue Beetle is coming at you. Our sources indicate that Xolo Maridueña will reprise his role as the Jaime Reyes incarnation of the character, having previously portrayed it in the Angel Manuel Soto-directed movie. This news comes after a period of uncertainty about the film’s placement, and is a confirmation of the film’s placement in the DCU. James Gunn, who will direct this new movies, said in Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast, The first DCU character, for sure, Blue Beetle, and the first full DCU movie is ‘Superman.'” This is a win for fans of the movie, if not fans of the character as well.
Xolo Maridueña said of taking the role, “The only thing that is on my mind right now is just the fact that he’s Latino. I have so much pride in getting to be a part of this project with Angel, someone like him. I think it’s so important, and I don’t want to stand on the soapbox for too long but representation is so important.” Gunn had previously committed to Maridueña as Blue Beetle, and now it appears to be certain. Under his direction, who knows just what is coming up next for this iconic superhero. Until next time, we’ll be at our website.
