Here's another video that is 1000% honest and fact-checking in loo of the "Wonder Woman 3" / Gal Gadot rumor mill.



TL;DW - Variety also previous said Battinson was gonna be DCU and James Gunn shut them down. Don't trust even a major trade about DC "sources".
 
At this point, what I think happens with Blue Beetle is that it doesn't take place neither in the DCEU or the DCU, but it's an independent universe to both and through the events of The Flash (where we see two universes can 'merge' into one timeline) that's how Xolo Maridueña will stay as Blue Beetle on the DCU and passing through similar events, but the DCU version will not be the same as the film's version (the same goes for every actor/actress who goes from DECU to DCU)
 
having seen the movie, the only references to anything is reference to a "superman of metropolis" and a "flash of central city", as well as batman being a fascist

EDIT: the opening credits have a newspaper montage, i didn't notice any dates but i definitely could have missed something

it feels to me like the universe is being treated like the x-men, ie the dceu happened in the original timeline and after the timeline is altered with flashpoint it was reset so that anything can be considered canon from the past (the Suicide squad, peacemaker) and anything else not (man of steel) and i truly can't rationalize clooney's reappearance at the end of the flash unless they just recast and either don't address it at all or acknowledge it as a gag and nothing more -or- we discover that Barry is now stuck on earth-97 or just some other alternate timeline, even with blue beetle's flash reference it could be wally he's referencing as the protector of central city

It's possible the film is set before The Flash too. The MCU hasn't been releasing chronologically for years.
 
As I've previously stated, I firmly think Blue Beetle is set on an independent universe to both the DCEU and the DCU to the director's statements and the character will return through a variant of him portrayed by the same actor and with a similar backstory but being a different character until we have a more clear statement

Aquaman 2 will probably cement things IF it reference BB at all.

But if it were separate from both, then it might as well be Post-Flashpoint DCEU. It doesn't make any sense for it to be neither.
 
the more that it's stated by people involved with the film that this movie is a part of the old dc universe but xolo returning to the dcu in future appearances the more i'm convinced that he's in the same boat with gal gadot, zachary levi, ezra miller, jason momoa, and dwayne johnson as being "on reserve" should the character(s) come back in future stories but they have no active plans for said appearances as of now and this film can easily fit into may-july 2022 between shazam 2 and flash; i'm assuming this is where aquaman 2 will happen as well "pre-flashpoint" to remain as ambiguous as possible

There's a few points I want to make:

1.) Law school graduation is normally in June, as opposed to May.
2.) I guess Jaime could have been job hunting for a month before he gave up and worked as a pool boy for Kord.
3.) If we're in the "transitioning" point for the DCU, makes the most sense for it to be post Flash.
4.) Y'all are assuming the DCEU is just gonna be forgotten from here on out. I guarantee not everything from that is gone and the DCU is not a complete reboot.
 
Any Chance the Horror Movie Lights Out will be included? Because Emma Glover is a character that appears in both (Shazam and Lights Out), so I think we should discuss the canonicity. They are intended to be the same character played by the same actress. I mean a similiar case connected Friday 13th and Transformers, sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The DCEU Wiki has this clip canon, as DirectTV stated that this is Wonderous Serena's Origin Story, so i would argu ethat its canon:

1) No, I don't think so.

2) It would likely be set between Aquaman and Shazam! due to the fact it references the Justice League and the time of the year it was filmed. So, sometime in 2018 I take it.
