Two thoughts:

The marketing for this movie has been a complete joke

I hope the movie is good, and that Xolo is good in it.

@DannRamm113 - Not a joke, they're just not spending money on marketing the last remains of the DCEU.

Same will go for Aquaman 2, they're taking their losses and moving on to the DCU, then you'll see strong marketing again.

@DannRamm113 - sadly the movie is pretty generic, the movie is full of hispanic jokes and the script is very convenient, good CGI and great for kids though.

As well as the direction that the DCU is taking, I am also confused by Gunn's outfit.

I’m kinda confused. Jaime Reyes will be the first character for James Gunn’s new DCU, despite Superman: Legacy being the first DCU movie and despite the changes made in The Flash, Blue Beetle is still a DCEU movie.

@tb86 - If the movie is well received and somewhat successful he'll be part of the DCU otherwise he will die alongside the rest of the DCEU. As of right now it'll stay in DC limbo with Aquaman.

@tb86 - His character, played by this actor will appear. This story is not cannon. That's all.

At least it looks to have a decent box office run.

Maybe his ass will be dragged to the new universe, I dunno.

I hope this movie doesn't have any shitty cameo or cheap references to the DCEU.

The more Gunn tries to convince us that Jaime is part of the "DCU", the less I belive him.

@MaxPaint - he has no reason to lie about it. he clearly will be bringing the actor back ala cena and company into a new continuity and universe. why is that so hard to understand?
MaxPaint

@supermanrex - Well I don't buy that, not that hard for you to understand.

Can't wait for this movie to come out so it can flop hard so we can all move on.

And if it flops? He's been mute on the Flash ever since it fizzled.

There are 3 likely meanings:

1. Xolo will reprise the role of Jaime Reyes in the DCU. But the first Blue Beetle movie will not be hard canon.

2. Blue Beetle is canon to the DCU.

3. The chraracter of Jaime Reyes will apear in the DCU, but it will not be Xolo, nor will this movie be canon. This movie will have nothing at all to do with the DCU, save for also being a DC movie with DC characters.

Here's the thing.
If it's either of the first two, then NOW is the time to say so, definitively and without any room for interpretation. Clarify these things. Because this will help sell the movie.

I said the same thong about his comments on The Flash. It turns out they were bullshit too and The Flash movie had nothing to do with the DCU at all. By staying silent and by choosing to end the movie with George Clooney rather than in the DCU, he effectively abandoned the movie.
He is doing the same to Blue Beetle and that is because the truth of the matter is number 3. The movie has nothing at all to do with the DCU. Unless it's a success of course, much like Shazam 2, The Flash and Aquaman 2.

This shows a lack of confidence. They have no plan.

@ObserverIO - The critics have praised Xolo's Jaime and the dynamics of the Reyes family so having that in mind then it would be for the best to go with option 2. The first would lessen the connection a bit that everyone made with these characters in this film and number 3 would just be a slap to the face. And I think if that happens, then the fandom will be the ones to start to lose confidence in Gunn and in Safran, which wouldn't be surprising.
