Blue Beetle post-credits scenes spoilers: What's revealed about the DC Universe's future?

DC's newest superhero movie, Blue Beetle, released in theaters this week on August 18. The movie as well as the post-credits has quite a few exciting and unexpected revelations for newfound fans of the Latino superhero.

This article has major Spoilers about Blue Beetle.

There are two Blue Beetles in the superhero movie! One is the 2023 first-time live-action movie superhero Blue Beetle aka Jaime Reyes, played by actor Xolo Mariduena. The other is Jaime’s predecessor from the Blue Beetle comic books, Ted Kord.

What do the Blue Beetle end-credits scenes reveal?

There are not one but two post-credits scenes in Blue Beetle. Here are the deets.

In one post-credits scene, director Angel Manuel Soto pays a tribute in animation to 'El Chapulín Colorado', a Mexican superhero show from the seventies.

The other post-credits scene reveals that Ted Kord is alive, without showing him. The original Blue Beetle Ted Kord first appeared in DC Comics in 1966 and was a rage in the eighties. He even had a solo series and the supergroup comic book 'Justice League International'.

Ted Kord is mentioned throughout the Blue Beetle 2023 film but never shown. The post-credits scene revelation means he will be shown in future DCU movies.

Soto revealed to USA TODAY that he wanted the end-credits scene to “give closure” to that plot point about Ted Kord being possibly dead.

“We wanted to not just answer the question but also let the world know that Jaime Reyes’ story is just starting,” Solo said.

This is good news for Blue Beetle fans.
