BLUE BEETLE RETURNS!

#XoloMaridueña rejoices over #JamesGunn asking him to reprise his role as #BlueBeetle for the #Superman sequel, “Man of Tomorrow.”

“I was in Japan with my friends; nobody knew anything,” Maridueña said on the #PracticalMagic2 red carpet in Los Angeles. “And I just see, like the Bat-phone, my phone rings [and it’s] James Gunn. All my friends look at me, and I had to leave the room. I came back, and I was like, ‘Off the record, don’t tell anyone, but we’re coming back,’ and I’m so excited for people to see where Blue Beetle ends up.”
