DC's latest film Blue Beetle, starring Xolo Maridueña in the title role, is breaking barriers for representation in Hollywood. The superhero genre -- on film at least -- is historically and overwhelmingly white, with little room for actors, creators and characters of color in meaningful positions up until very recently. Blue Beetle blew critics out of the water with a 78 percent "Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It also performed excellently with audiences -- particularly in the Latine and Hispanic demographic -- and received a 91 percent audience score. The overwhelming success the film has with moviegoers is a hope that the film will continue to receive good word-of-mouth press and start breaking box office records in the coming weeks.
