This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
Man of Tomorrow, the world-shattering follow-up to last summer’s universe-launching Superman, just got another hero. It’s alreasy well-stocked with characters from DC Comics’ stable of costumed characters, including Superman holdovers Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Supergirl (Milly Alcock), and of course the Man of Steel himself (David Corenswet). It’s also set to add John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) from the upcoming series Lanterns.
The newest hero in this pantheon, however, dates back before all of the above hit the screen. And while audiences have seen this particular hero before, they might never have expected to see him again, after the ignominious end of his cinematic universe. However, as naturalist J.B.S. Haldane once remarked, “The Creator would appear as endowed with a passion…for beetles.”
According to reports, Xolo Maridueña will return as Jaime Reyes, alias the Blue Beetle, in Man of Tomorrow. The character debuted in his own solo film, Blue Beetle, in 2023. The film was released during the latter stages of the last DC cinematic universe, the DCEU, and was well-received by critics, although it underperformed at the box office. Nevertheless, both Maridueña and Man of Tomorrow director James Gunn (who also oversees the new DC universe for Warner Bros.) have hinted that the Blue Beetle could return.
Man of Tomorrow is now in production, and will be released in theaters July 9, 2027. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
