In 2023, DC underwent a transformative phase with James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over as co-chairmen and co-CEOs of DC Studios towards the end of 2022. Their lineup of films and TV shows were set to debut only after Warner Bros. had released the remaining movies from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Over a period of nine months, movies like Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom were released, effectively marking the end of the DCEU. However, characters from Gunn’s The Suicide Squad and spinoff series Peacemaker made an appearance in Gunn’s new creation, Creature Commandos, signaling the beginning of a rebooted DC Universe under the leadership of Gunn and Safran.
Since Peacemaker has been revised as part of the new DC Universe, Gunn is hinting at another character carryover: Xolo Maridueña’s Blue Beetle. “Let’s just say you’re not unfortunate,” Gunn said to IMDb regarding the possibility of Blue Beetle showing up in Peacemaker season 2.
Is Blue Beetle in the DCU?
The film titled “Blue Beetle”, made by DC Films and The Safran Company, is not directly connected to the DCEU (DC Extended Universe), according to Gunn. In an interview with ComicBook in 2023, Gunn expressed that Jaime Reyes could potentially be incorporated into the wider DC Universe. This introduction could start with “Creature Commandos”, followed by appearances in “Superman” and “Peacemaker”.
He emphasized, “Starting with our initial project, everything moving forward – including the world of Superman – will be part of the official storyline (canon) and interconnected.” He continued, “We’ll be working with some actors from previous productions, but we won’t use others. From this point onwards, everything will maintain a consistent continuity.
In simpler terms, it’s possible for Jaime Reyes from Maridueña to be considered a part of the DC Universe (DCU) even if the Blue Beetle movie isn’t made. In fact, as stated by Gunn that year, Jaime is expected to play an important role in the future of the DCU.
In a recent interview, I shared my excitement about voicing Jaime in the upcoming “Blue Beetle” animated series produced by DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation. This project is something we’re really pouring our hearts into, and we’re hoping to bring it to life this year for everyone to enjoy next year. As for James Gunn’s plans for the character, I can’t spoil all the secrets, but let me tell you, once they’ve finished cooking up this three-course meal, I’m ready and eager to join them!
In addition to John Cena’s character Peacemaker, various actors who portrayed roles within the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) are set to reprise their characters in the new DC Universe. These include Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Jennifer Holland and Steve Agee as A.R.G.U.S. agents Emilia Harcourt and John Economos, and Sean Gunn as Weasel – all of whom made appearances in the 2021 film “The Suicide Squad.
