It seems Jaime Reyes' story might not be over yet.
The Big Picture After Blue Beetle had a disappointing box office performance this summer, it seems the story of Jaime Reyes isn't over yet. James Gunn has confirmed that the actor will reprise his role as the hero in the new version of the DC Universe on the big screen via a post on his Threads profile.
Blue Beetle was set in the previous DC continuity established in 2013 when Man of Steel premiered in theaters, and after more than a decade of entertaining the world, that narrative is set to conclude with this year's Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. After it was announced that Gunn and Peter Safran were taking over creative control when it came to DC across film, television and video games, there were doubts regarding what was canon to the new franchise or not.
In addition to Maridueña returning as Jaime Reyes in a future project, Gunn said that Viola Davis will reprise her role as Amanda Waller, and John Cena's Peacemaker will also join the action once the new version of the DC Universe is introduced to audiences. Just like with Blue Beetle, both characters will share traits with their previous iterations without it necessarily meaning they're the same people that appeared in previous projects.
Who Is Jaime Reyes? When the current iteration of Blue Beetle was introduced in his own movie earlier this year, Jaime Reyes had just graduated from college, and was looking for his first job. Though his sister gets him a job at Victoria Kord's mansion, he gets fired after stepping into a fight between Victoria and her niece, Jenny .
