A brand new hero just entered the DC Universe. Xolo Maridueña, whose breakout role came in the Karate Kid spinoff Cobra Kai, stars in Blue Beetle as Jaime Reyes—the first Latino superhero from either DC or Marvel comics to get a solo big screen adventure.
While we're years into DC's attempts at building a coherent movie franchise, with characters like Batman, Superman and the Joker all being played by multiple actors depending on the project, Blue Beetle offers something of a blank slate to newbies. Focusing on college grad Jaime's encounter with an alien artefact (the "Scarab") that bestows him with a high-tech suit, the film serves as a refreshingly simple origin story to kick off the next stage in DC's movie pipeline.
Warner Bros. originally planned to give Blue Beetle a straight-to-streaming release on Max, however the studio's plans for its entire stable of DC projects has gone through some major changes lately, with James Gunn and Peter Safran taking the creative reins (and the Batgirl movie getting shelved entirely).
DC ComicsHow to watch and stream Blue Beetle
