Xolo Maridueña Confirms Blue Beetle Will Return In The New DCU Jaime Reyes' Story Is Not Done Yet Close Recently, Maridueña confirmed to Screen Rant that his Blue Beetle will be back in the DCU.
I know we’ll see Blue Beetle again, whether it comes in the form of Blue Beetle 2 or wherever. It’s been really great to work alongside James and Peter , who have graciously folded us into their new universe even though it wasn’t part of what they came up with. It’s an honor. Now, where Blue Beetle heads in the future? I don’t know. But I can confidently say that we will see him soon.
Despite Blue Beetle's box office failure, Maridueña is set to return as the hero soon in the DCU, which is good, as the actor delivered a charismatic performance as Jaime Reyes. Gunn might have said that Blue Beetle is the DCU's first character; however, the universe's creative mastermind did not say the same for his movie. Gunn previously addressed the status of Blue Beetle by saying that all movies released before the DCU reboot are not canon to the universe.
