“Blue Beetle”, a new film about the DC Comics hero, hit Brazilian theaters last Thursday, the 17th. Xolo Maridueñaalso marks the debut of the Brazilian actress, Bruna Marquezine, in Hollywood. Check out the trailer!
However, despite having just hit the big screen, a big question is already surrounding fans: after all, is it possible for the production to win a sequel?
Blue Beetle 2?
So far, there is no confirmation from Warner Bros. or by DC. However, the director responsible for the film, Angel Manuel Sotorevealed in a recent interview with The Playlist that “Blue Beetle” could easily earn some sequels.
“We couldn’t fit everything into one movie. So this is the first arc of a larger saga. We still have a lot of story to tell and I hope to do that”, said Soto.
In another interview with Yahoo! Entertainment (via ScreenRant), the filmmaker spoke again on the subject, declaring his hope that new films about the hero will be announced.
“The way the machine works, the [primeiro] film needs to make money for them to put in more money, but for us, we’ve always seen it that way… We love the story so much. We believe in so much product. We believe so much in an actor. We couldn’t help but wonder where his journey would go as we were creating this film.”
Through an Instagram post, James Gunndirector and co-CEO of DC Studios, stated that Jaime Reyes, the Blue Beetle, will be “an incredible part of the DCU going forward!”, leading many fans to believe that new films about the hero are not impossible.

In addition, the film’s first post-credit scene leaves the story open-ended, allowing for a continuation — and even a possible return. Bruna Marquezine for the franchise.
In the sequence, an answer to the mystery related to the disappearance of Ted Kord, the first Blue Beetle and father of Jenny, character of Marquezine. In it, we can see Ted’s secret hiding place empty, when a message appears on the computer that is present in the place, where it is possible to hear the voice of a man, apparently desperate, warning Jenny that his father is alive.
