WB Eying Xolo Maridueña for BLUE BEETLE

1825

Per THE WRAP, Xolo Maridueña is “in talks” for the lead role in the upcoming DC film, BLUE BEETLE.

BLUE BEETLE will feature the Jaime Reyes version of the DC superhero and is the 3rd person to take on the Blue Beetle mantle.  I wonder if the film will include any of the character’s original Charlton Comics history with Dan Garrett and/or Ted Kord?

I actually discovered the Jaime Reyes version of Blue Beetle — the only BB that was actually created by DC Comics — on my favorite animated Batman TV series, BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD.  Thus, I’ve got a basic working knowledge of the character.  Looking forward to this movie.

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
