My Take
Xolo Maridueña is one of those genuinely exciting young talents who snuck up on pop culture and then suddenly felt inevitable. He'd already put in years of solid work as a kid on Parenthood, but it was Cobra Kai that really showed what he could do — Miguel Diaz is a meaty, layered role, equal parts charm and vulnerability, and Xolo carries it with a naturalness that a lot of actors twice his age couldn't pull off. Then comes Blue Beetle, where he becomes the first Latino actor to headline a DC superhero film solo, and he brings warmth and humor to Jaime Reyes that makes you genuinely root for the character. Born in 2001, he's barely in his twenties and already has a franchise under his belt. I think the ceiling on this guy is extremely high.
