One of the best parts of sitting down to watch a movie from DC Films is the fact that you’re also in for a treat once the credits stop rolling. The post-credits scenes often contain clues and keys to what’s going to come in the DCU, and at this point, we’re all so used to the ending scenes that movies feel incomplete without them.
The most recent DCU film is Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and it picks up from the events of the first Aquaman movie. Starring Jason Momoa, Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Randall Park, Dolph Lundgren, Temuera Morrison, Martin Short, and Nicole Kidman, the sequel follows Aquaman as he must work his half-brother to prevent Black Mantua from using the Black Trident, which will affect his family, the kingdom of Atlantis, and the world’s climate overall.
While excitement was high for The Last Kingdom, things have been a little bit shaky in the DCU recently. It was recently reported by Variety that none of the previous members of Snyder’s Justice League — Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller and Momoa — would reprise their roles in the new DCU. But while Momoa may not return as Aquaman, there is speculation that he could return to DC as the character Lobo. Lobo is an alien that works as a mercenary and bounty hunter across the universe, and Stan Lee actually named him as his favorite DC Comics character in 2012.
All of these rumors and theories can be confusing, but post-credits scenes can often point to where a storyline is going to go next. Here’s what you need to know about the post-credit scenes in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Is there a post-credits scene in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom?
Patrick Wilson as Orm, Aquaman’s brother.
Yes, but there’s only one and it doesn’t show anything that’s significant for what’s next in DC’s release calendar. In the scene, we see Aquaman’s brother Orm eating a burger at a restaurant. He sees a cockroach crawling by, picks it up and puts it on his burger, and then settles in to enjoy his new insect burger. This is a callback to earlier in the movie, when Aquaman tricks Orm into eating the bug by telling him that it was standard fare on land.
But while this jokey scene probably isn’t what you were expecting, it does reveal that DC is sticking with its plan for an all-new DCU, and the DCEU is likely no more. This is likely the last we’ll see of Aquaman.
