To Get To Continue The Story Of Jaime Is An Honor


Xolo Maridueña is set to reprise his Blue Beetle role in an animated series from DC Studios.

The Cobra Kai actor recently teased what it means to continue telling the story of Jaime Reyes, the DC Comics superhero he played in the 2023 film.

“There’s only one Blue Beetle,” Maridueña said in an interview with Hablemos de Cine about voicing the Latino superhero in the upcoming animated series.

He continued, “I’m so excited to get to continue the story of Jaime is an honor and I just can’t wait to see where the heck he goes. It’s still so early but I just know it’s about to be the next craziest anime.”

Earlier this year, Deadline broke the news that Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios were working on an animated series based on Blue Beetle. Miguel Paga would serve as director and showrunner, and Cristian Martinez would serve as writer.

Angel Manuel Soto and Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, director and screenwriter of the 2023 film, respectively, will executive produce alongside John Rikard who served in the same capacity on the film. Galen Vaisman, who was an EP on the film, will oversee the animated TV series for DC Studios.

The 2023 Blue Beetle film centers on Jaime Reyes, a recent college graduate who returns home to figure out what he wants to do with his life. Jaime gains superpowers when an alien Blue Beetle scarab grafts onto him. The film also starred Adriana Barraza, Damián Alcázar, Raoul Max Trujillo, Belissa Escobedo, Susan Sarandon, and George Lopez. Becky G voiced Khaji-Da, the entity that controls the scarab.
