It's a damn shame Blue Beetle didn't perform well at the box office. That was a great movie and @Xolo_Mariduena and the rest of the cast were all fantastic. I hope it gets a shot at a sequel. — 🇺🇸Josh Keaton🇵🇪 (@joshkeaton) January 14, 2024 This moment in Blue Beetle made me so happy Don't fuck with us mexicans pic.twitter.com/0HxPYJXvfE — Bolt's Birthday Bash!!
