The second is simply pure enjoyable, and a nod to the Latino group the film homages lovingly.
The place is Ted Kord?
The movie’s first post-credits scenes confirms that Victoria Kord (Susan Sarandon) didn’t kill Ted Kord—or at the very least reach an try to take action. What? We’re stunned too, she was mustache twirling at any time when she referenced her brother’s disappearance!
Again in Kord’s empty Blue Beetle lair, the computer systems—which have been turned again on after a very long time by Jaime’s brother Rudy to assist Jaime through the occasions of the movie—activate once more however this time on their very own. The system begins to obtain indicators and a voice message comes by means of, explaining that it’s Ted and to inform his daughter he’s alive. From the movie we all know that Ted final had the Blue Beetle mantle (although was not chosen by it) and was researching the scarab to deal with the lack of his spouse. He could be trapped in space, and it leaves an open line to have Jaime reconnect with the previous generations of the Blue Beetle together with Ted and even discover out extra about Dan Garrett—the final particular person the scarab chosen.
