James Gunn<\/span> hinted we could be seeing him soon.<\/p>\nWhat do we know about Blue Beetle\u2019s DCU future?<\/h2>\n
In a recent interview with IMDB, Gunn was asked about the character. The interviewer speaking to Gunn said he was \u201cmanifesting\u201d seeing the character appear in upcoming seasons of Peacemaker. Gunn laughed, and said that he wouldn\u2019t say he \u201cwas not in luck.\u201d<\/p>\n
While not direct confirmation that the character will show up, Gunn seemed to do all but that in his joke. The character of Blue Beetle first made his appearance in film in 2023, with the 14th film in the DC Extended Universe<\/span>. Played by Xolo Maridue\u00f1a<\/span>, the character was brought over to the DCU by Gunn when he and Peter Safran formed DC Studios<\/span>, but has yet to appear in any projects just yet.<\/p>\nAs of right now, it\u2019s unclear exactly when Blue Beetle will show up. However, we do know that his 2023 film is not considered \u201ccanon\u201d to the overall DCU. Gunn has clarified that, although Blue Beetle does exist in the DCU, the film (and any DC media released prior to the first four projects for the DCU) would not be in his own canon.<\/p>\n
An animated television show based around Blue Beetle is also rumored to be in the works. Originally mentioned in 2024, the series was expected to potentially act as a launching off point for a proper DCU film, although no new information has come of the series lately. The latest news we\u2019ve seen is that Maridue\u00f1a\u00a0said the show could come out sometime in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
