This would be the first time he would be playing a superhero and the thought of it got tears in his eyes, says actor Xolo Mariduena, who is popularly known for his work in 'Cobra Kai'.'Blue Beetle' is a superhero film based on the DC Comics .
Warner Bros.'s DC entry “Blue Beetle” has two things that differentiate it from other superhero movies. It's a Latino story with a Mexican hero and his family, and it has a hissing Susan Sarandon as its super-villain.
Blue Beetle director Angel Manuel Soto confirmed that the upcoming film features themes of displacement, colonialism, and gentrification. Not only did he confirm these themes, but he also revealed the film specifically sought out Mexican actors refuting the whole Latino narrative he's been marketing the film as.
