Gunn's Superman: Legacy will be the first DC Universe movie created under the brand's new creative vision, but Superman isn't the first DCU character.
Following uncertainty about whether or not Blue Beetle will be connected to the DC Universe, James Gunn sets the record straight about the young hero's future. With DC Studios working on several movies and TV shows for the upcoming DC Universe, a new era is coming thanks to Gunn and his co-CEO, Peter Safran. The Flash movie will be one of the last DCEU projects from before Gunn and Safren stepped in, with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom coming out later this year.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT It appears that the mystery has finally been solved as Gunn recently chatted about his future with DC Studios on Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum. During his guest spot on the popular podcast, the DC Studios boss confirmed that while his Superman: Legacy movie will be the first proper DC Studios film, the Blue Beetle character will officially be the first DC Universe character.
How Blue Beetle Is Already Perfectly Setup For James Gunn's DC Universe Even though Blue Beetle was produced during the old DC Films era, the project has already gotten itself a perfect setup for Gunn's DC Universe. In the first Blue Beetle movie trailer, the only superhero who gets name-dropped is Batman, but he is never shown through any visual representation.
Blue Beetle has also avoided referencing any major events from the previous DCEU films and instead focuses on being a bit more self-contained. That makes it easier for Xolo Maridueña's character to return to the DC Universe because his film won't touch upon any of the upcoming projects that DC Studios have in the works. With Gunn confirming that Jaime Reyes will exist in the same world as his DC characters, it sets the hero up for a lot of potential in future projects.
Time will tell where Blue Beetle may show up next after his solo film, but to know that he shares the same continuity as Gunn's larger DC Universe is quite exciting. It wouldn't be shocking if Jaime were to show up in some of the DC Universe shows that are in the works, particularly Booster Gold, who has ties to Ted Kord, another Blue Beetle who is hinted at in the upcoming film.
