In <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/trailer-blue-beetle-failure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blue Beetle<\/a>, there is a reference to Superman; the protagonist, Jaime Reyes, implies that he knows the superhero, but it&#8217;s not clear whether it&#8217;s Henry Cavill&#8217;s version or David Corenswet&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BLUE BEETLE | OFFICIAL FINAL TRAILER\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4wxyy8Rcz4k?start=4&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Superman young or not?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gunn has announced that Blue Beetle belongs to his new universe, so it&#8217;s logical that the Superman referred to in Blue Beetle would be the upcoming one from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/superman-legacy-new-superheroes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Superman Legacy<\/a>.
