found stardom with Blue Beetle. During the conversation, he also opened up about
show business, which is ever-changing. He stated that acting is not tangible

Spider-Verse, Joy Ride,” are opening gates to bigger possibilities.



According to him, these films are highlighting different cultures, filling young
audiences with confidence. Since the franchise is allowing more people like him

To prove his point, he also gave an example of Man in Black starring Will Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/]. The Parenthood star gushed over
him how the Oscar winner portrayed the character impressively, even after he had
no roots in Latino culture. Meanwhile, Mariduena also gave the credit for his
role to his mother, who had prepared him for it a long while ago.


MOTHER OF THE BLUE BEETLE STAR HELPED HIM TO BECOME A SUPERHERO

In the same interview, Xolo Mariduena revealed that his mother Carmelita had a
huge hand in his success. The actor said he was not a big fan of superhero
comics. But his mom incurred his interest because she used to read him superhero
comics at night for bedtime stories. She used to collect records and comic books
and made his kid do the same, which ultimately helped him get into this role.



In fact, he even did not give an audition for the film and the offer came to him
after the fame he garnered from the Netflix show. Blue Beetle got a worldwide
release on August 18 in theaters. So people who have not watched it until now
grab yourself a seat soon.
