Ángel Manuel Soto has plans in mind for a Jaime Reyes/Ted Kord mentorship, should Blue Beetle return to the DCU.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Soto teased the possibilities raised by Blue Beetle’s mid-credits scene, which revealed that Jenny Kord’s presumed-dead father and former Blue Beetle is still alive. “We really wanted to find a way to bring Ted Kord back. It’d not only be a part of the family drama that we’ve explored in the movie, but canonically, it’s also something very special,” he said. Soto also expressed interest in paring Jaime up with DC superhero and longtime Blue Beetle ally Booster Gold down the line, pointing out, “when James Gunn and Peter Safran came into power, they already promised the whole idea of exploring Booster Gold, and it helped us to keep the idea that Ted Kord is still alive.”Though frequently referenced by Blue Beetle characters like Jenny (Bruna Marquezine) and his embittered sister Victoria (Susan Sarandon), Ted Kord’s ultimate fate is never discovered by Jaime or his family. The mid-credits, however, saw Ted transmit a message through his secret laboratory computer in hopes of reaching Jenny, albeit without revealing his current whereabouts. The identity of this location, Soto remarked, depends on, “the success of the film. The movie has to perform in the eyes of the studio. So, in my mind, if the movie can perform, there’s more adventures to come for Jaime Reyes, and Ted Kord is a part of that setup.”RELATED: REVIEW: Blue Beetle is a Fun Surprise
