While Becky G might be all about blue in DC's latest superhero movie, there was a time in 2017 when she played Trini, aka the Yellow Ranger, in the immensely underappreciated "Power Rangers" film. Marked as one of the few acting roles in her career, Becky G joined the likes of Dacre Montgomery, Naomi Scott, RJ Cyler, and Ludi Lin as the teenagers with attitude. A major and valuable change to Trini's character was revealing that Trini was gay, making her the first LGBTQ+ hero in a decades-spanning franchise.
For the time being, there's no confirmation if the DCU reboot under James Gunn's management will include Blue Beetle. The likes of Black Adam, Henry Cavill's Superman, and, most recently, Wonder Woman have all had their iterations scrapped for what lies ahead. Here's hoping Jaime and Khaji-Da make it through and this unlikely pairing of young hero and alien A.I. keeps going — if only for more awkward conversations ahead.
