Xolo Maridueña will be the first Latino actor to lead a superhero movie in Blue Beetle. Here's who else will be joining him in the film.
Jaime's time is finally here, and he is not alone, as DC's first Latino superhero is joined by a colorful cast of family members who are with him in every step of the journey. The highly anticipated film comes at a much-needed time for DC as the studio is still reeling from a disappointing 2023 so far after the disappointing box office returns of Shazam! Fury of the Gods and The Flash.
Jaime is a recent college graduate living with his family in Palmera City, who's looking for a job, and his search brings him to Kord Industries where he gets introduced to the sentient scarab, that chooses to attach with him and makes him the Blue Beetle. Bruna Marquezine as Jenny Kord Brazilian star Bruna Marquezine plays Jenny Kord, daughter of the former Blue Beetle and founder of Kord Industries, Ted Kord.
Academy Award-winner Susan Sarandon plays Victoria Kord, the primary antagonist in the film, and brings necessary gravitas to the film with her experience, as the five-time Oscar-nominated actress, for the films Dead Man Walking, The Client, Lorenzo's Oil, Thelma and Louise, and Atlantic City, plays her first comic-book movie role. Before Sarandon was cast in the role, Academy Award-nominee Sharon Stone was in talks to play the villainess.
Belissa Escobedo as Milagro Reyes Milagro is Jaime's younger sister, who is with her brother every step of the way. Milagro believes in her brother and works with him at the Kord's villa to protect their family home from being taken away.
Adriana Barraza as Nana There is nothing more iconic than a Mexican grandma, and Jaime's Nana certainly lives up to that. Nana is the sweetest and the most lovable, but also the most cunning and savage when she needs to be, and she always has Jaime's back. Nana even gets to be a part of the action, with experience from her rebel past and shoots a machine gun as seen in the trailer.
