Xolo Maridueña’s time in the DC Universe was tainted from the very beginning. Coming in at a time of superhero fatigue where no project was getting any attention, it was not surprising whenBlue Beetledid not work out. However, no one expected just how badly the movie would end up failing. Being regarded as one of the worst-performing films in the history of the franchise, even though it was fundamentally praised, it is safe to say that the film had an unfortunate run.
Despite this, it seems that DC is not ready to give up on the character just yet, and neither is Maridueña. During a recent interview, the actor talked about an animated show for the character that is currently in the works and what fans can expect from it.
Xolo Maridueña Talks About aBlue BeetleAnimated Series
Xolo Maridueñarecently gave an interview with theAssociated Press, where he talked about his future in the DC Universe. While many franchises could cut ties with an actor if their film bombed, this is not what DC did in the slightest.
Instead, the studio seems to have a brand new idea to saveBlue Beetle’scharacter; an animated series. Animated shows are ingrained in the very fabric of the superhero genre. It wasBatman: The Animated Seriesthat was heavily responsible for the place the character has in pop culture now.
Getting to expand and maybe even do stuff that [we] wouldn’t be allowed to do in the movie or live-action is so appealing to me.

Blue Beetleseems to be going in a similar direction, using a much more freeing medium, according to Maridueña.
Xolo Maridueña Has Expectations
After talking about the fact that his DC character is getting his own animated series, Maridueña started to reveal what fans can expect from the series, as a whole. He started by revealing that when he was younger, he would devour shows likeAvatar: The Last Airbenderand theX-Menanimated shows.
I grew up watching Avatar: The Last Airbender, the old X-Men show, even some of the newer ones. The animated space, Studio Ghibli, it could be sick.
In the years since then, the animated space in Hollywood has changed drastically. The medium, as a whole, has become so much more expressive, and the creators can pretty much tell any story they want. Maridueña seemed to understand this fact very well and was even excited about what could be done with the show.
I’m really excited about it. I hope everyone comes back for it.
