Ever since it was announced that James Gunn and Peter Safran were going to be rebooting the DC Universe starting with the 2025 blockbuster Superman: Legacy, there have been a lot of questions about how existing DC projects such as The Flash, Blue Beetle, and the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom would fit in to the retrofitted universe, given that they appear to have existing ties to what fans loving referred to as the SnyderVerse. There remains a tremendous amount of uncertainty. Gal Gadot says she is making Wonder Woman 3, but then Gunn says they are not. Gunn also says Blue Beetle is the first hero in the DC Universe. So what are we supposed to make about these comments from Blue Beetle director Angel Manuel Soto about Man of Steel?
When it comes to the DC universe, dedicated fans are always looking for clues and hints about how storylines are connected, and Easter eggs that link movies under the same umbrella. So in a recent interview with Nestor Cine, when Angel Manuel Soto says his movie references Man of Steel as a tribute to Zack Snyder, we start to wonder if this means Henry Cavill is part of the same universe that Blue Beetle operates in. And that might open the door for Henry Cavill.
