Blue Beetle cheered as first Latino superhero to star in a movie
Latino fans, families and comic-book enthusiasts say it’s about time they see one of their own save the world. Though the Blue Beetle is being celebrated as the first live action Latino superhero with a starring role, there have been previous Latino and Latina superheroes.
They’re applauding because it’s the first live-action movie to star a Latino hero. Not only that, but “Blue Beetle” features a mostly Latino cast, Latino writers and is helmed by a Latino director, creating a major milestone in Hollywood history.
“There’s something that registers a sense of familiarity that makes the film even more significant to us when we see someone with whom we can identify,” said Richard T. Rodríguez, a UC Riverside English professor who’s written about comic books.
The film’s impact is being felt across heavily Latino Southern California, where Latinos are applauding the character and saying that it’s about time someone who looks like them plays a starring role alongside the likes of Batman, Superman and Iron Man.
