Blue Beetle's Xolo Maridueña on DCU Movie's Setting: 'He Deserves His Own City'

Blue Beetle star Xolo Maridueña has spoken about the DC Universe movie's setting and why it was changed from El Paso, Texas.

“First off, with Palmera City, it’s a city made specifically for our movie and for this storyline that we’re making with Blue Beetle,” Maridueña explained. “Originally, the character takes place in El Paso, Texas, and we decided to make it to Palmera … Blue Beetle deserves his own city, right? Batman has Gotham, Superman has Metropolis, and we wanted to have a world that felt like it was reminiscent of the culture that Jaime grew up in.

“It has the sound of a place like Rio or the smell of Boyle Heights or the people of an El Paso, but it’s a metropolis of Latinos, and I think it helped bring the story from like an American story to a worldwide kind of picture.”
