‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom‘ serves as the last movie in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) and seems to mark Jason Momoa‘s final portrayal of Arthur Curry/Aquaman. However, the post-credit scene falls short, being regarded as one of DC’s weakest, even compared to ‘The Flash‘ post-credits.
‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ contains one post-credits scene.
What’s in the post-credits of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’?
In the post-credits of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ Orm (played by Patrick Wilson) is shown casually enjoying a burger with a side of cockroach.
Yes, there were reports of a planned post-credits scene with Ben Affleck’s Batman, but it was later scrapped, possibly indicating a shift in DC’s interest in upcoming DCEU sequels or cast.
According to director James Wan, ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ will be a ‘bromance action-adventure movie,’ while the first one was more of a ‘romance action-adventure movie. He said, “The second movie was always going to be Arthur (Momoa) and Orm (Wilson). So, the first was a romance action-adventure movie; the second one is a bromance action-adventure movie.”
Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.
All returning to the roles they originated, Jason Momoa plays Arthur Curry/Aquaman, now balancing his duties as both the King of Atlantis and a new father; Patrick Wilson is Orm, Aquaman’s half-brother and his nemesis, who must now step into a new role as his brother’s reluctant ally; Amber Heard is Mera, Atlantis’ Queen and mother of the heir to the throne; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, committed more than ever to avenge his father’s death by destroying Aquaman, his family, and Atlantis; and Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, a fierce leader and mother with the heart of a warrior. Also reprising their roles are Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus and Randall Park as Dr. Stephen Shin.
Produced by Atomic Monster and Peter Safran, it will hit theaters on December 20, 2023, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
