Angel Manuel Soto, director of Blue Beetlerevealed in an interview with Total Film that the new film is part of the Extended Universe of DC (the DCU), being in the plans of James Gunn and Peter Safran (current heads of DC Films) to produce “at least two more long ones” dedicated to the character.
The idea was always to make at least two more feature films. It is the traditional three-act structure. Our first film is like the first act of his saga [Besouro Azul].

In addition to Maridueña and Marquezine, the film features Susan Sarandon, Belissa Escobedo (Abracadabra 2), Harvey Guillen, George López (The Adventures of Sharkboy), Adriana Barrazza (Rambo: Last Blood, Babel) and Damiano Alcazar (The Chronicles of Narnia) in the list.
In the storyline, Jaime Reyes is an ordinary teenager, living a quiet life in El Paso, USA when he finds an alien artifact that looks like a beetle, the object fuses with his body and forms an exoskeleton. Thus was born the superhero Blue Beetle.
We are part of that universe, that world and the plans they created for the future of the DCU. We are not connected to the films of the past. Our story takes place in a world where superheroes exist, it is true, but none of the events or alliances of the previous films dictate the path for us.
Added Soto on feature.
For Brazilian fans, Blue Beetle is highly anticipated not only for playing the hero for the first time in a live solo production, but also because Marquezine has joined the cast. The actress, known here for several successful soap operas, was officially announced in March 2022 and will play one of the protagonists of the feature film, as Jenny is the romantic partner of the protagonist.
