"Blue Beetle" boasts a glittering cast of famous faces and exciting up-and-comers. Xolo Maridueña stars as Jaime Reyes, aka Blue Beetle. "Cobra Kai" fans will recognize him immediately as Miguel Diaz, Johnny Lawrence's first student, while "Parenthood" viewers will know him as Victor Graham. "Blue Beetle" won't be Maridueña's first time playing a role that began in the ink-and-paper world of comic books: He's lent his voice to children's cartoons "Cleopatra in Space" and "Big Nate," both of which adapt popular comic series.
The most recognizable names in the "Blue Beetle" cast are probably Susan Sarandon, who plays antagonist Victoria Kord, and George Lopez, who plays Jaime's uncle Rudy. Sarandon is a Hollywood icon beloved for her starring turns in movies like "Thelma & Louise," "Bull Durham," "Enchanted," and "The Witches of Eastwick." Lopez is among the most famous comedians in the world, with a plethora of eponymous TV shows to his name including "George Lopez," "Lopez Tonight," and "Lopez vs. Lopez."
Jaime's family is rounded out by Adriana Barraza (playing Nana, Jaime's grandmother), Damián Alcázar (playing Alberto, Jaime's father), Elpidia Carrillo (playing Rocio, Jaime's mother), and Belissa Escobedo (playing Milagro, Jaime's little sister). Bruna Marquezine will portray Jenny Kord, Jaime's love interest. Raoul Trujillo of "Mayans M.C." will play the ruthless mercenary Carapax.
Additionally, "What We Do in the Shadows" fans will be pleased to learn that Harvey Guillén is set to appear as Dr. Sanchez. You can also expect to hear the vocal talents of Becky G, the singer and "Power Rangers" actor, as she'll portray Khaji Da, the voice of the Scarab that gives Jaime his powers.
