One of the DCEU's Last Movies Is Getting an Animated Sequel

The Big Picture Audiences haven't seen the last of Blue Beetle, with Deadline reporting that an animated series based around the character is currently in development at Warner Bros. Discovery and DC Studios. The project is meant to build on the events of last year's movie, with the possibility of Xolo Maridueña returning as the hero in another live-action story on the table.

Ángel Manuel Soto, who directed last year's adventure about a recent college graduate gaining powers beyond his imagination, is attached to the new animated series as an executive producer. Cristian Martinez, known for his work on titles such as Women of the Movement and Good Trouble, will serve as the showrunner for the series.

Blue Beetle introduced Jaime Reyes as someone who didn't know what to do with his life after graduating college. But thanks to his sister, Milagro , he manages to get a job at Kord Industries. His access to the company leads to Jaime gaining powers from an ancient scarab. But Victoria Kord who wanted to take all the power for herself, wasn't happy about Jaime escaping with her prize.

Where Does 'Blue Beetle' Fit in the DCU? Close Ever since it was announced that James Gunn and Peter Safran would now be in control of the DC Universe, the creatives had been teasing the fact that stories originated in the DC Extended Universe would no longer be canon. If the upcoming Blue Beetle animated series leads to the return of Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes, an explanation would need to be provided regarding whether last year's movie is canon or not.

Release Date August 18, 2023 Director Angel Manuel Soto Cast Xolo Mariduena , Susan Sarandon , Raoul Max Trujillo , Harvey Guillen , George Lopez , Elpidia Carrillo Main Genre Superhero
