Blue Beetle Star on the Film's Most Emotional Moment

Blue Beetle star Xolo Maridueña recently discussed the process behind filming one of the DC film's most emotionally impactful moments.

Blue Beetle was a film that's already helped guide DC away from their previous stories and into something different, even though it's still technically not the beginning of that next "relaunch" era. In superhero films, everything from an origin story to the significance of family and even a loss rocks the characters to their core. So, how did the actor behind the titular hero feel about that impactful loss?

During a new interview with Comic Book, Blue Beetle star Xolo Maridueña shared, "It was definitely those types of scenes are like the biggest scenes. When you're reading the script and you're thinking, 'ah, this is a character-defining moment'. You know, after your dad dies, you're not the same for the rest of your life, right? So it was something, it was exciting to get to act that out personally for me. I don't know, that feels like the greatest pain that one could have, so getting to explore that, having not been through that yet, thankfully, was so fantastic." He added, "Damián, the guy who played my father, was such a generous… he had such a levity and lightness to him that I think was so comforting, and we banged it out in one day. It was one of those things where we're like, we're here; let's just run through the whole thing. Luckily, I didn't have to go to any dark place."
