Blue Beetle director Ángel Manuel Soto hints at the next appearance of Jaime Reyes in the DC Universe, following his solo movie. With the conclusion of the DCEU this year, Xolo Maridueña's Blue Beetle will continue his journey in James Gunn's DC Universe. As various DC Universe films and TV shows are in development, the potential for Blue Beetle's future is limitless.

In an exclusive interview with our website, Soto discusses the future of Jaime and hints at where audiences may see him after the film. Speaking about the Blue Beetle post-credits scene, Soto confirms his discussions with James Gunn regarding its implications, suggesting that Booster Gold may play a role.

We have discussed the topic before, and during our conversation, he mentioned the upcoming TV show about Booster Gold. However, we haven't discussed where it will fit or how it will be executed.

How Blue Beetle's Post-Credit Scenes Set Up The Booster Gold TV Show

Despite not appearing physically in the film, Blue Beetle introduces Ted Kord as the predecessor to Jaime, the current hero. Ted is revealed to be Jenny's biological father who had gone missing years ago, creating uncertainty about his fate throughout the movie. However, the post-credits scene features a recording in Ted's lab, asserting his continued existence.

With Ted's whereabouts shrouded in mystery, this storyline seamlessly sets up the Booster Gold TV show while also laying the foundation for one of DC Comics' most iconic dynamics. Given the time travel aspect of Booster Gold's story, the Max series could unveil that Ted is trapped in time, potentially stuck within Booster's timeline. Consequently, the responsibility falls on the futuristic hero to rescue him and bring him back to the present. As Booster Gold navigates the challenges of the 21st century, Ted can serve as his guide and play a significant role in the TV show.

Booster Gold presents a great opportunity to showcase Jaime in the DC Universe following the events of Blue Beetle. This would allow the young hero to connect with Ted as they now share a legacy. It's thrilling to learn that Gunn and Soto have already discussed Blue Beetle's future in the broader DC Universe, especially considering the positive reception the movie received in 2023. In the meantime, fans can enjoy the Blu-Ray, DVD, or Digital Download of Blue Beetle starting on October 31.
