Xolo Maridueña charms as a Mexican American superhero in the first DC Comics movie with a Latino actor in its title role.
First the good news: As the protagonist Jaime Reyes, Xolo Maridueña is enormously appealing. When we meet him, Jaime has just graduated from college with big dreams, the first in his Mexican American family to do so.
It is that very biotechnology, courtesy of a kind of scarab-shaped A.I. known as Khaji-Da , that chooses Jaime as its “host,” propelling him into the titular role of reluctant superhero as it fuses with him symbiotically, in body and brain, granting him the power of flight, a bulletproof suit and the ability to generate whatever weapon his mind might conceive. We have all seen this part before.
It is his love for his family that makes Jaime weak, Carapax tells him. But after Victoria sends a militarized private SWAT team to raid the Reyes house one night, an all too disturbingly realistic encounter, and tragedy ensues, his mother tells Jaime, “Use the pain we’re feeling and turn it into power.”
