Xolo Mariduena shines as Jaime Reyes in Warner Bros.’ “Blue Beetle,” signaling a clash between the “pink” success of “Barbie” and the potential triumph of the lesser-known superhero. Anticipated to earn between $22 million and $32 million during its debut, “Blue Beetle” follows a string of underperforming DC Comics-based films and a major creative regime change at the studio. While previous releases like “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” and “The Flash” failed to attract significant audiences, the future of “Blue Beetle” remains uncertain without the promise of interaction with popular Justice League characters. However, the film’s portrayal of a Mexican-American family and the praise for Xolo Mariduena’s magnetic performance offer some hope. Critics note that “Blue Beetle” still falls into some familiar superhero movie tropes, but as DC corrects its course in the coming years, it should consider keeping Mariduena and the Blue Beetle character in its lineup. Ultimately, the success of “Blue Beetle” will determine if it can recover its $125 million budget and justify its place within the DC Extended Universe. As the studio navigates a new era led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, there are no guarantees for the future, but potential for improvement remains.
