Aquaman 2: Will there be an Aquaman sequel? Will there be another Justice League?

DC Comics fans have not had an easy go of it, with the Warner Bros adaptations being generally considered as flops. Wonder Woman was the first movie from WB to break the cycle and the studio hoped Aquaman could repeat that success. Early box office numbers and reviews suggest Aquaman has been a success and fans have already begun to speculate what this could mean for the future of DC Comics movies.

Will there be an Aquaman sequel?

If the mid-credits scene is anything to go by, the answer is a surefooted yes.

Warning: spoilers below for Aquaman.

Based on Aquaman’s mid-credits scene, another Aquaman movie could be a possibility.

The mid-credits scene occurs after a brief animated credit shot concludes.

AQUAMAN: WHO IS THE VILLAIN IN THE AQUAMAN MOVIE?

The clip opens with a shot of Black Manta, one of two villains in the movie played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (the other being Patrick Wilson’s Orm).

Manta is adrift in the ocean, clinging to a piece of driftwood and seriously injured.

He sustained these injuries after a fight with Aquaman and Mera (Amber Heard) in Italy (a fight audiences glimpsed in the trailer).

Black Manta is luckily rescued by a fishing boat, which is occupied by Dr Stephen Shin.

AQUAMAN KING ORM: WHO IS PATRICK WILSON’S AQUAMAN VILLAIN?

Shin had a brief cameo in the film and is played by Randall Park.

Dr Shin, who is based on a comic character, is an Atlantis truther who was visible on a TV screen earlier in the movie.

Manta regains consciousness in Dr Shin’s boat and looks around to see a makeshift lab.

There is also a wall dedicated to Aquaman and Atlantis – a revenge board of sorts.

AQUAMAN: WHO PLAYS AQUAMAN IN 2018 MOVIE? WHO IS KHAL DROGO ACTOR?

As Dr Shin examines Manta’s helmet, he accidentally fires the lasers from its eyes.

He demands to know from where Manta got the Atlantean helmet.

If Dr Shin helps Manta find Aquaman, Manta says he will tell Dr Shin how he got the technology.

But will there be another Justice League movie?

Though initial speculations about the mid-credits scene hinted it would feature the rest of the Justice League, this has not come to pass.

In all likelihood, another ensemble movie is a long way away, if it will ever see the light of day.

Aquaman is now playing in cinemas.
