Blue Beetle Star Xolo Mariduena Reacts To Leaked Costume Images
Xolo Mariduena, who is set to bring Jaime Reyes to life in Warner Bros.'s Blue Beetle live-action movie, thanks passionate fans for their support after pictures of his superhero suit got leaked from set images. As the DCEU is going forward, Warner Bros. is still working on adapting multiple iconic DC heroes and villains from panel to screen. One of the next superheroes to get the big-screen treatment is Blue Beetle, with Mariduena as Jaime in the movie. While originally conceived as an HBO Max original, Warner Bros. and DC Films ended up changing those plans as it will now be a theatrical summer movie in 2023.
Blue Beetle follows a young teenager, Jaime, whose life is changed forever when he one day discovers a powerful alien scarab that transforms him into the titular hero. Jaime is one of several characters to have carried the Blue Beetle mantle. Dan Garrett was first before Ted Kord took over the title. While Jaime was featured in an episode of Smallville season 10, this will be the first time he'll be depicted on the big screen. As of this week, Blue Beetle has officially started filming, and it didn't take long before Jaime's costume got leaked through set photos.
