How Blue Beetle & Ted Kord Can Return In James Gunn's DC Universe

We have a strong affection for both Ted Kord and Booster Gold, and with the knowledge that James Gunn has future plans for Booster Gold, it seems fitting for us to embrace them. Ted Kord is still alive, somewhere out there in the vast expanse of the universe, and what lies ahead for our beloved hero is open to interpretation. Whether it involves Booster Gold, Ted Kord, or even both of them joining forces, the realm of possibilities is real, and it is our aim to engage and captivate it.

Even if Blue Beetle doesn't receive a sequel, Gunn has confirmed that these characters are part of the DC Universe, allowing for potential returns in the future. For Jaime, aside from the Booster Gold show, he could easily make an appearance in any of the DC Studios projects that have already been announced. Since Superman: Legacy will establish the presence of superheroes in this world, having Blue Beetle cameo in the 2025 film would align perfectly with Gunn's intended theme for that story.

Ted Kord, the iconic DC hero, would find his perfect next destination in Booster Gold after the events of Blue Beetle. In the comics, Ted and Booster Gold have formed a notorious partnership, teaming up for years and even having their own comics together. The Booster Gold series on Max would be a fitting way to address the mystery of Ted's whereabouts and establish their popular dynamic.

Currently, it remains uncertain when any of the Blue Beetle characters will return to the DC Universe, particularly due to ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA. Even if plot details are already in place, they cannot be announced until after both strikes conclude. However, James Gunn's interest in incorporating Blue Beetle into the DC Universe brings excitement and intriguing possibilities for the new franchise, including the future paths of Jaime and Ted.
