James Gunn, the mastermind behind the new DC Universe, just gave fans a little nudge that Blue Beetle could pop up in the second season of Peacemaker. In a recent chat with IMDb, Gunn didn’t flat out confirm it, but his response has everyone hyped about Xolo Maridueña’s character joining the fray. This comes as Peacemaker Season 2 kicks off strong on HBO Max, pulling in rave reviews and a flawless score on Rotten Tomatoes right out of the gate. With the DCU getting a fresh start, it’s cool to see some characters like Blue Beetle sticking around while big names get recast.
- The Sneaky Tease from Gunn: When asked about Blue Beetle making an appearance via IMB, Gunn said, “Well, you know, I won’t say you’re not in luck.” So we are in luck to see him appear in Peacemaker?
- How It Fits Into the Bigger DC Picture: Unlike heavy hitters like Superman or Batman who got new faces in the reboot, Blue Beetle made the cut and stays canon. Gunn also spoke about how Blue Beetle fits well into the new DCU with Rotten Tomatoes.
Final Thoughts
As Peacemaker Season 2 continues to roll out, this Blue Beetle hint feels like Gunn’s way of keeping the DCU interconnected and exciting. Given That we only have the first episode out for the second season of Peacemaker, who knows(Gunn), maybe we will get to see Blue Beetle even in this season.
