Biography

Maridueña was born in Los Angeles, California. He is of Mexican, Cuban, and Ecuadorian descent.[1] He has four sisters.[2] His first professional job was modeling for a Sears catalog.[3] He was 16 when he started acting in the series Cobra Kai.[4] He said of his role as the Blue Beetle, as the first Hispanic superhero to star in either the Marvel or DC film universes:[5] "The only thing that is on my mind right now is just the fact that he's Latino. I have so much pride in getting to be a part of this project... I think it's so important, and I don’t want to stand on the soapbox for too long but representation is so important."[6]
