:0:0

The future of the titular character of Blue Beetle is all but guaranteed after James Gunn's DC reboot thanks to one upcoming TV project. Since James Gunn was announced as the new co-head of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran in October 2022, much talk has surrounded the lingering projects still expected to be part of the old DCEU. These films include The Flash, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and most importantly, Blue Beetle.
With The Flash expected to reshape the DCEU into the new-look DCU, many were left wondering how a film like Blue Beetle would be impacted. Questions arose over how the film's story would take shape as it is released after The Flash, but crucially whether Xolo Maridueña's titular superhero would continue into James Gunn's DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. After Gunn's announcement of his first DCU slate in January 2023, it became clear that one TV project all but confirms the continuation of Blue Beetle in the franchise after the release of his own solo film.
