Blue Beetle actor Xolo Maridueña remains unfazed by Warner Bros. Discovery's challenges with recent DCEU films, refusing to succumb to the pressure. Despite the disappointments and failures of DC's Black Adam, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and The Flash at the box office, Maridueña, aware of the studio's struggles, strives to keep a positive mindset following the release of Blue Beetle.

Maridueña, in an interview with Variety, discussed the release of Blue Beetle and how he is not letting the box office pressure affect him. He acknowledges that the film has not performed well at the box office so far, which is likely a sentiment shared by the rest of the cast and crew. When asked about feeling pressure for Blue Beetle to be a blockbuster hit, Maridueña acknowledges that there is pressure from Warner Bros., but his response is delivered with a hint of sarcasm. He expresses his desire for Blue Beetle to be the biggest movie of all time and believes it has a global appeal. Maridueña moves away from calling out Warner Bros. and explains that while he wants the film to be successful at the box office, he understands that box office hits are not always the best films, and vice versa.

Unlike other actors who have suggested specific movie choices to fans, Maridueña adopts a positive attitude and refuses to be confined by numbers. In a difficult situation, he celebrates his birthday by watching the movie with his family. Maridueña emphasizes the importance of representation in films, stating that great movies transcend ethnicity and labels.

Maridueña and the director, Angel Manuel Soto, are hopeful for Blue Beetle's future, anticipating its eventual return. However, there is still uncertainty surrounding the fate of Blue Beetle. Maridueña hinted that his discussions with Gunn indicated that the film's success might determine Blue Beetle's future. Nevertheless, Gunn recently shared a picture of himself with Peter Safran at a Blue Beetle premiere event, reaffirming his intentions to create a remarkable presence for Blue Beetle in the DCU. Blue Beetle is currently showing in theaters.
