Xolo Mariduea in Blue Beetle is one of the best superhero castings in recent memory. His performance has the right balance of humor and heart for the fledging hero Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle, and Mariduea is perhaps the film’s biggest asset. Though Blue Beetle ultimately underperformed at the box office, it fared more favorably with critics and fans, earning a 77% critic score and a 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie is a fun ride that does its source material justice, pun unintended.
