Aquaman 2 credits scene hints at DCU's uncertain future

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.


In the recent blockbuster Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, fans witnessed a whirlwind of action as Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman, battled foes in a quest to save Atlantis. The movie explored various locations, from the deep sea to a mutant jungle, a parched desert, and even Antarctica. Themes like global warming and racism added depth to the storyline, creating an epic feel.

However, with Jason Momoa's future as Aquaman uncertain, many wondered if there was anything left for Warner Bros. to reveal in the credits scene. The sequel did have a post-credits moment, but it took a lighthearted turn, referencing a humorous scene from the movie.

In the credits scene, Aquaman's brother, Orm, is seen savoring a burger and beer after Aquaman played a prank on him involving a cockroach. The scene signifies Orm's change of heart toward the surface world, showcasing his willingness to reconsider prejudices and appreciate its beauty. It also hints at the conclusion of this iteration of Aquaman.

Typically, credits scenes in superhero movies tease the next adventure, but Aquaman 2 deviates by focusing on humor rather than setting up a sequel. This departure aligns with recent developments at DC Studios, where James Gunn and Peter Safran were appointed as co-chairs and co-CEOs. The studio announced a cinematic overhaul with new projects on the horizon, excluding existing heroes like Aquaman and Shazam.


The lack of a teaser for Aquaman's next big adventure, combined with the Shazam sequel and Flash standalone being perceived as box office disappointments, raises questions about the future of Warner Bros.' superhero lineup. The credits scene, with its comedic touch and absence of a looming threat, suggests a potential shift in tone for the DC Universe, leaving fans intrigued about what's next for their favourite heroes. Will Aquaman's next chapter be all about sharing a burger with his brother, or is there more in store for the underwater hero? Only time will tell.
