it would appear that Xolo Maridueña, star of “Cobra Kai,” may just be putting all that training to use! According to The Wrap, Maridueña reportedly in the running to play DC Comics superhero Blue Beetle in the upcoming live action project for HBO Max.
“Blue Beetle” will center on Jaime Reyes (Maridueña), the third person to carry the mantle of Blue Beetle. He’s a Mexican American teenager, which would make this the first major superhero stand alone film to star a Latino.
Angel Manuel Soto “Charm City Kings” is set to direct from a script by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer.
On “Cobra Kai,” Maridueña plays Miguel Diaz, student of the infamous karate dojo run by Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka).
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
