Summary
Blue Beetle, the first character of the new DC Universe reboot, has his solo film's post-credits scenes count revealed.
Other DCEU films that feature an equal number of post-credits scenes to Blue Beetle are Justice League, Shazam!, The Suicide Squad, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
The post-credits scenes in Blue Beetle should focus on tantalizing further standalone escapades for the character or hinting at the upcoming DC Universe.
DC's upcoming film, Blue Beetle, had its post-credits scene count exposed during early screenings. The narrative revolves around Jaime Reyes, portrayed by Xolo Maridueña, who is set to become the inaugural character of the revitalized DC Universe, as confirmed by James Gunn, the creative chief of DC Studios. Being the pioneering character of the new DCU, there is speculation that one of the post-credits scenes in Blue Beetle will provide a glimpse into the fresh universe. Journalist Luke Bugg took to Twitter to validate that the film features two post-credits scenes, having watched it in a pre-release screening.
How Blue Beetle's Post-Credit Scene Count Compares To Other DCEU Movies
Moreover, @Josh62488, a dedicated DC fan, enthusiastically affirmed the existence of two post-credits scenes in the film, alluding to the prospect of additional narrative content. Alongside this thrilling revelation, the fan generously shared snapshots from a premiere gathering, featuring none other than Ángel Manuel Soto, the esteemed director behind Blue Beetle.
Blue Beetle is counted among the films with the highest number of end-credits scenes in the entire DCEU, boasting two captivating post-credits scenes. This aligns perfectly with the film's intention of serving as the kickoff for Jaime's cinematic odyssey. Given that the character has been officially confirmed to transition into the DC Universe, it is possible that an additional scene was filmed to establish his rightful place in the vast DCU.
Justice League, Shazam!, The Suicide Squad, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods all feature two post-credits scenes. Both Blue Beetle and Shazam! Fury of the Gods were standalone enough within the DCEU that their lead heroes could easily transition to the new DC Universe. However, due to the underwhelming performance of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Blue Beetle may be the only one of the two to become part of Gunn's DC Universe.
Interestingly, the DCEU movies either had two, one, or no post-credits scenes. Despite being crucial in establishing the main story of the universe, Man of Steel (2013) and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) did not have any post-credits scenes. Wonder Woman, on the other hand, did not include any post-credits scenes, while the other unmentioned movies all had one end-credits scene. As long as Blue Beetle avoids repeating the MCU's Iron Man mistake by utilizing its post-credits scenes to hint at more standalone adventures for the character or provide insights into the DC Universe, it will be using them effectively.
