Blue Beetle’s Shocking Twist Sets Up A Perfect DCU Casting
Blue Beetle’s Shocking Twist Sets Up A Perfect DCU Casting
The surprising twist at the end of DC’s Blue Beetle makes it a perfect casting choice for the new DCU. If the Blue Beetle franchise is able to get the green light for future sequels, we can expect the legacy of the Blue Beetle mantle to be explored further. With Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña) now confirmed to be the third Blue Beetle in the DC series, as in the original comics, it makes sense to cast one of the most fan-favorite actors as one of the Beatles to date (especially after the film’s biggest surprise). Directed by Ángel Manuel Soto, Blue Beetle is one of Warner Bros.’ final DC films to be released before the new DCU planned by new DC Studios presidents James Gunn and Peter Safran. However, Gunn has already confirmed that Jaime Reyes will be the first hero in the DCU, with his own Superman: Legacy being the first DCU film, due to hit theaters in 2025. Either way, Blue Beetle’s post-credits scene offers a major twist for the future of the franchise, opening the door to perfect casting for the universe going forward.
Blue Beetle’s Ending Sets Up Ted Kord For Blue Beetle 2
After the end of “Blue Beetle”, Jaime Reyes allied with an alien scarab named Kaji Da, and the two lieutenants stated: After defeating Carapax and Victoria Cord, in a post-credits scene, it was revealed that his predecessor, Ted Kord, the Blue Beetle, was still alive. Since Ted disappeared when Victoria took over the company a few years ago, even his daughter Jenny (Bruna Marquezine) did not know where Ted had gone. However, in Ted’s secret base, a recorded video, albeit corrupted, is played, confirming that he is still alive and stating that he had a message for his daughter. Of course, Ted can now be seen in a possible Blue Beetle 2 and elsewhere in the new DCU. Ted Kord, the second Blue Bug, is completely different from the first Bug, Dan Garrett and Jaime Reyes. Both were chosen by the Scarab and given its powers. Instead, Ted relied on his fortune to develop crime-fighting devices and vehicles before his mysterious disappearance. With some of his weapons on display, it would certainly be exciting to see Ted himself in the new DCU. Now that Reyes has accepted his new role in the Cajda, he may become Jamie’s mentor.
The DCU Can Deliver On Jason Sudeikis’ Perfect Ted Kord Casting
There have been rumors and hopes for Ted Kord well before Blue Beetle’s theatrical release, but Ted Kord’s absence from the first Blue Beetle means that DC Studios still has a chance to cast fan-favorite actor Jason Sudeikis as Blue in the film. The Beetle that appeared before Reyes. Following the huge success of Ted Lasso, the SNL alum would be a perfect fit for the role of Ted Kord (aside from the meta-satisfaction of Sudeikis playing another character named Ted). Cord’s absent-minded personality and great sense of humor were already mentioned in the first Blue Beetle, so Cord seems like the ideal DC superhero for Sudeikis. Similarly, the abstract family portrait painted by Cord’s late wife seems to show a version of Ted that Sudeikis could pull off. Either way, hopefully DC’s Blue Beetle will be a box office hit, promising sequels and appearances in other DCU projects in the future. This could allow for further exploration of Blue Beetle’s legacy and possibly an appearance by Ted Kord (hopefully from Sudeikis himself) in the future.
