DC Studios has officially announced aBooster Goldseries as part of the first phase of the DC Universe, although specific details about the show are still limited. By the way, Booster Gold is neither shown nor referenced inBlue Beetle— which left Gunn and Safran to cast their own actor for the role.

In the comic books, Ted Kord and Booster Gold have a friendship and joins forces for hijinks, comical misadventures, and heroic missions to save the world. Director Angel Manuel Soto said:
