Blue Beetle Rumors Of Jason Sudeikis Playing Ted Kord Debunked

We’re gradually getting closer to the debut of DC’s Blue Beetle movie, which will finally bring the story of Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle (Xolo Maridueña) to life on the big screen. One of the biggest lingering questions surrounding the film, which recently began production, has been the possible presence of Ted Kord, Jaime’s predecessor as Blue Beetle in the comics. A now-deleted casting call, which requested a “Ted Body Double” for the film, seemed to suggest that Ted Lasso and Saturday Night Live star Jason Sudeikis might have been cast in the role — but it now appears that that isn’t the case. According to a tweet from The Wrap’s Umberto Gonzalez, Sudeikis is definitely not playing Ted Kord in Blue Beetle. ComicBook.com has also been able to confirm that Sudeikis will not be appearing in the movie.
