'Blue Beetle' director Ángel Manuel Soto reveals what that mid-credits scene could mean for future DCU plans.
in the works as part of the new phase of the DCU from DC Studios co-heads Gunn and Peter Safran. "Ted Kord is still alive, he's somewhere out there in the universe, and whatever the future holds for our hero is open to interpretation. So, whether that is Booster Gold or Ted Kord or if it is both of them [together], the possibility exists and it is something that we want to entertain.
sequel has not yet been confirmed by Warner Bros., and Ted Kord has not been announced as a character for the Booster Gold series. However, Gunn has made clear that he wants the character of Jaime to be a part of DCU's future. Beyond the potential for a Booster Gold team-up, Soto hopes to one day go off and explore the relationship between Jaime and the Scarab, a.k.a. the voice of Khaji-Da .
"You know, where Khaji comes from," he elaborates. "Let's see if we end up beating up the Reach at one point." The Reach is an alien race of conquerors from the comics with deep ties to the Scarab and Blue Beetle. They featured heavily in theanimated series , which featured a prominent story arc for the Jaime character that Soto also used as inspiration for this first film. "For me," he says, "it's expansive and the opportunities are so exciting.
"The stuff that we created years ago was able to withstand three regime changes [at WBD], threats of cancellation and all the other chaotic moments that feel so far away but wasn't so far away," he acknowledges. Knowing that, and also how personal and specific Latino culture is to the film, the fact that Blue Beetle resonated enough with Gunn and Safran, "it's amazing," Soto adds.
