There were plenty of costumed casualties during the reboot of the DC universe that fans would’ve preferred to see make it over to whatever James Gunn had planned under DC Studios. While the likes of Peacemaker got away safe and sound, one young hero with a lot of potential, Blue Beetle, played by Cobra Kai’s Xolo Maridueña, was left in limbo. Released just in time for the comic book universe reboot to get underway, the film was caught in the transition, and Jaime Reyes’ future was left up in the air as a result.
It sounds like hope is not lost, though, as the film’s director Ángel Manuel Soto has spoken out about what potential part Blue Beetle could play in the DCU in the future. While doing the rounds for his new film, The Wrecking Crew, starring Jason Momoa (former Aquaman and new Lobo) and Dave Bautista, Soto assured that conversations have been had that could hint at Blue Beetle saving the day once more.
