New 'Blue Beetle' Image: Xolo Maridueña Suits Up
DC fans have a lot to look forward to — from the recent announcement of David Corenswet as the rebooted DCEU's Superman to the promise of a new continuity with James Gunn and Peter Safran at the helm. Before that, however, fans can look forward to the debut of DC's first Latino superhero in next month's Blue Beetle.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The film chronicles Jaime's journey as he grows from floundering college graduate to super-powered hero, as he becomes bonded with an alien technology known as the Scarab. The upcoming film marks only the second appearance of the character in live-action, following a minor role in a single episode of Smallville.
While several characters have donned the Blue Beetle mask, Jaime made history as DC's first Latino superhero. It is only fitting then that he should be the one to wear the mask in its big screen debut, with Maridueña making history as the studio's first Latino lead. The actor promises to bring the character to life in style, calling the new suit "just incredible," naming it "the coolest suit there is.
Blue Beetle will be released exclusively into theaters on August 18. You can check out the trailer for the upcoming film below:
