DC is at a crossroads. While The Flash put an end to the DC Extended Universe that kicked off a decade earlier with Man of Steel, James Gunn’s revamped DC Universe won’t officially begin until Superman: Legacy flies into theater in July 2025 (Hollywood strikes allowing). But before any of that can happen, DC still has a few loose threads to tie up. There’s an Aquaman sequel scheduled for December, but before then, a brand new hero will join this discombobulated cinematic universe. Enter: The Blue Beetle.
