Blue Beetle may not have been a huge box office hit, but it gathered positive reviews from critics. Those who didn’t watch the film in cinemas will soon have the opportunity to get to know Jaime Reyes’s story in the comfort of their own homes.
In the comic books, Blue Beetle first appeared in 1939, but his original incarnation bears no resemblance to the one appearing in the film. Jaime Reyes is actually the third iteration of the superhero. He debuted in the DC universe in 2006, inheriting superpowers from Ted Kord. He befriended another vigilante named Booster Gold and later joined the Teen Titans and Justice League.
Considering the recent struggles of the DCEU films, it’s hard to predict the future of Blue Beetle. James Gunn and Peter Safran are planning a fresh start for the cinematic universe. For now, there is no information about Jaime Reyes’ involvement.
