I did an internet search for "blu ray external usb-c" and found a number of options including this article: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/the-best-external-blu-ray-drive/ and the following #1 best seller at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/External-MthsTec-Blu-Ray-Optical-Compatible/dp/B07SZKNRF2/ref=zg_bs_1292123011_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1T0EQ47A9CA0Z1WY7DZY


Another option that may work is and adapter: USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple


Note that I have not personally tested any of the above.
