Does Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom have a post-credits scene?
Can you swim away after Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, or should you stick around until the very end?
After five long years, DC sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has finally landed in cinemas.
Starring Jason Momoa as everyone’s favourite half-Atlantean, the second instalment of the franchise follows Aquaman teaming up with his half-brother and old enemy Orm (Patrick Wilson) to protect his family after a devastating power is unleashed on Atlantis by a vengeful Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II).
With a premise darker than its predecessor, the film boasts performances from a star-studded cast, including Nicole Kidman as Aquaman’s mother Atlanna and Dolph Lundgren as Nereus, the King of Xebel.
But does Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom have a post-credits scene – and if so, what happens in it? Read on for everything you need to know.
Does Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom have a post-credits scene?

What happens in the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom post-credits scene?
The short scene picks up after Aquaman has made his public treaty with the humans, promising peace between the sea and the land.
In the following post-credits scene, we see Aquaman’s younger brother Orm sat at an outdoor restaurant, eating his very first cheeseburger.
When a cockroach walks along his table, Orm, unfazed, picks it up and places it in his burger before taking a huge bite and, judging by the look on his face, he is happy with the taste. Orm smiles and the scene cuts to black.
Viewers will recall that this sequence is a nod to an earlier scene in the movie, when Orm was convinced to eat a cockroach by his older brother and, strangely enough, appeared to find it appetising.
Unlike most post-credits scenes, it is unlikely that this one will have any repercussions for the future of the DCU – so what is upcoming is yet to be discovered, but with the recent casting of David Corenswet as Superman in Superman: Legacy, it sure looks promising!
