Filming is underway for Angel Manuel Soto’s Blue Beetle, starring Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes AKA Blue Beetle, the first Latino superhero to have his own movie. Although the production is still in its early stages, Blue Beetle already promises to be a memorable addition to the DCEU and hopefully an educational experience for those who may not be entirely familiar with Blue Beetle’s origin story. In DC Comics’ animated history, several incarnations of the Blue Beetle appear on Batman: The Brave and the Bold and namely the Ted Kord version appears in cameo voice roles.
Not much is known about the Blue Beetle solo film besides its cast and crew; the finer details have been kept under wraps for the time being, but we do know that Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer will be serving as screenwriter and Angel Manuel Soto is taking charge as director. Additonally, Bruna Marquezine and Belissa Escobedo were respectively cast as the protagonist’s love interest Penny and younger sister Milagros. Xolo Maridueña is best known for portraying Miguel Diaz in the Netflix series Cobra Kai. He will be joined by Susan Sarandon as Victoria Kord, the central antagonist against Maridueña’s Beetle, and Raoul Max Trujillo as Conrad Carapax (Carapax the Indestructible Man), another supervillain and presumably an associate of Sarandon’s Kord.
