Will we see Jason Momoa as a superhero again after Aquaman 2?

Warning – The article below contains minor spoilers for “Aquaman 2” as it particularly discusses its ending. So please go ahead if you haven’t seen the movie yet.

That’s the end. Launched in 2013 with Man of Steel, DC’s shared universe, designed to compete with Marvel’s, with an equally rich catalog (if not more) has just come to an end. And it’s Aquaman 2 that brings up the rear.

Five years after the release of the first opus, the greatest success of the DCEU in cinemas, the directorial saga of James Wan continues and ends. For DC, it’s already marked the end of the year with the failures of Shazam 2, Blue Beetle, and especially The Flash to help reboot the universe now led by James Gunn and Peter Safran.

How does the movie end?

This is where the spoilers are the most, so you still have a few seconds to get off this page. are you still here of course? So either you’ve seen Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom. Or you have no problem understanding that the hero wins over Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), who is being manipulated by his ancestor’s brother.

To revive Nekrus, the famous lost kingdom of the title. It clearly fails, the big bad dies, and all ends well for Aquaman, who decides to reveal the existence of the Atlanteans to the Surfatians, the name he gave to Earth’s inhabitants. That’s why the last scene of James Wan’s movie is his speech at the United Nations.

And he concludes “I am Aquaman” It was accompanied by the smile of a child who had done something silly, before dropping the microphone. It’s unclear if this is a hint at the end of the first Iron Man, in which case it would be fun to end the DCEU the way the MCU started.

In case you haven’t seen the movie and are wondering, the post-credits scene in the middle of the credits doesn’t bring back Ben Affleck’s Batman as it was teased.

And it’s nothing more than a trick: before finally tasting that cheeseburger that Arthur praised, Orme (Patrick Wilson) adds a cockroach he sees crawling across the table, echoing a passage earlier in the story. And he finds the association delicious.

Aquaman 2: Is A Sequel Planned?

The resurrection of the ruler of Nekrus lasted only a few minutes. And there’s a look that suggests Orm still has a little darkness. Or maybe the black manta survived a fatal fall into the abyss. But we’ll never go further than speculation, and Aquaman 2 at least has the good taste not to be tempted by something that will never happen.

If the King of Atlantis could be one of the survivors of this version of the DC Universe in the sequel, the promotion insisted on the fact that it was “Aquaman’s Ultimate Adventures” A few weeks before release. As if to cut short possible theories about a hypothetical sequel.

Like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and possibly The Flash, who hit theaters between 2013 and 2023, this Aquaman isn’t going away. And if he did return, it wouldn’t be until Chapter 2 of the upcoming DC Universe and under the guise of a different actor.

DC: Is Jason Momoa in another superhero’s shoes?

The rumor has been fueled by a major stakeholder who even posted a video of a very positive meeting with DC Universe leaders regarding its future. According to rumors, there was less talk of returning to the role of Aquaman than of playing Lobo, the extraterrestrial mercenary most notably seen in the Krypton series.

But today nothing is less certain: “If they call me and ask me to play, it will be a yes.”he answers Fandango. “But I haven’t been called, so I don’t want to spread any misinformation, but if they call me and ask me to play or audition, I’m there.”

“I collect comics, a little less today than I used to, but he’s always been my favorite and I’ve always wanted to play Lobo because I tell myself it’s a great role.” Whether he will be able to play her or if this privilege will be given to another actor remains to be seen. If this is indeed planned in the program of the next films.
