As James Gunn and Peter Safran They became leaders of D.C. shortly after the premiere of Black Adamthis new “hierarchy of power” It left the films that were already scheduled in a strange position. Gunn and Safran’s purpose was to orchestrate a severe reboot of DC continuity (with a first chapter as a phase Marvel, Gods and monstersand with the imminence of an ambitious film superman written and directed by Gunn), so the following films would have to arrive with the certainty of being the last iterations of their characters. With post-credits scenes destined for limbo.
It was especially painful in front of Blue Beetle, since it was about the introduction of a new character who supposedly would not have a place in the new DC. Except that Gunn, on the eve of the premiere, clarified that he did have an idea that Blue Beetlealias Jaime Reyeswould somehow have a role to play in the new franchise. Blue Beetle premiered in August 2023 with fairly good reviews by DC standards, but its box office was very disappointing (maybe due to the discreet promotion of Warner Bros.): 130.8 million dollars that, before the successive failure of Aquaman and the lost kingdomthey led to deduce that Gunn would think better of keeping Blue Beetle in the saga.
But he is finally going to keep his promise. According to deadlineamong the multiple projects that Gunn and Safran are preparing for remastering DC Universeis a series of Blue Beetle. An animated series, to be precise, returning to that young man who, by fusing with an alien beetle, acquires superpowers.

Xolo Maridueña He was originally the one who played Blue Beetle in the first film.
The main names of the series Blue Beetle are Miguel Puga as director (responsible for another animated series closely linked to Mexican identity, The Casagrandes in Nickelodeon) and of Cristian Martínez as a screenwriter after participating in the drama series Good Trouble. Right now the series of Blue Beetle It has no release date or destination platform, although it is most likely that Warner Bros. Animation I sent it to the catalog Max (the same one that, originally, was going to be the direct home of the live-action film).
