Blue Beetle Director Says DCU Future Still Open

Soto cites Gunn's public backing plus early talks with DC executives as signs the door remains open.

Overview

  • Ángel Manuel Soto said he does not believe Blue Beetle's story is over and described friendly conversations with Peter Safran and John Rickard.
  • He noted that James Gunn has publicly called Blue Beetle part of the DCU and is a fan of the character.
  • Exploratory discussions have considered expanding the Reyes family’s adventures via animation, with no project officially greenlit.
  • Soto expressed a personal desire to make sequels with Xolo Maridueña while clarifying that this is not a confirmed studio plan.
  • Gunn’s policy of keeping the same actors across animation and live action suggests Maridueña would continue as Jaime Reyes if new projects move forward.
