Blue Beetle director Angel Manuel Soto is on board the series as an executive producer, along with the movie’s writer, Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, according toThe Hollywood Reporter. Miguel Puga is showrunning and directing, and Cristian Martinez is penning the series. John Ricard and Galen Vaisman, who were executive producers on Blue Beetle, are also executive producing the show.

Yes, it’s confusing…
“But we are not tied to all the films from the past. Yes, our movie lives in the world where superheroes exist. But that doesn’t mean that a certain event, or certain alliance, or certain things from the past dictate where our film is going.”
