Blue Beetle Director Calls It a ‘Relief’ to Be in James Gunn’s DC Universe


Blue Beetle director Ángel Manuel Soto has called it a relief to be a part of James Gunn’s DC Universe.

The new DC movie stars Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes, a recent college graduate who is given a Scarab that turns him into a superhero.

Is Blue Beetle in DCEU?

Although it is set in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), Gunn confirmed that Blue Beetle would be the first character in his rebooted DC Universe.

“Yeah, that was for sure one of the elements of relief,” Soto told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s the fact that all of this effort was not going to die during this regime change. We survived regime changes throughout this whole process, and that was a testament to the hard work that everybody put into it.

“There’s also a belief in our characters, who are now going to be part of this new DC universe, especially Xolo’s character and his whole family and Bruna Marquezine’s character. So, knowing that they are going to continue to move forward in the DCU allowed me to feel relief for myself and for them. It’s a testament to the amount of heart and talent that they have.”
