Blue Beetle has first Latino superhero in movie

In August, a new superhero film, Blue Beetle, from DC Comics is set to come on the big screen.

The character’s journey to the cinema has been a long one, starting back in 1940 and surviving multiple attempts to bring it to TV and film. Now, Xolo Maridueña is the first Latino lead in a live-action superhero film.

What sets Blue Beetle apart from recent superhero releases is its straightforward and fun approach, free from complicated multiverse plots. Moreover, the film’s director, Angel Manuel Soto, has hinted at its connection to James Gunn’s DC Extended Universe (DCEU) vision. This opens up possibilities for future crossovers and could integrate Blue Beetle with other heroes like Booster Gold.
