While the DCEU is over and the new DCU won’t officially start until the new Superman movie comes out in 2025, James Gunn has said that Blue Beetle is the first hero of the new DC film universe. That doesn’t mean that this movie will be canon, but there’s a good chance that Jamie and his scarab will be making the jump (along with Peacemaker and Amanda Waller).
Today we got a new, extended trailer for Blue Beetle that features a ton of new footage. We’ve got to say, for a film that was originally slated for a streaming-only release, this movie is looking a lot better than it has any right to. We’ll see if WB made the right choice to bring it to the big screen on August 18th.
