Will there be an Aquaman 3?
At the time of writing, Aquaman 3 has not been announced.
Most superhero movies have a post-credit scene that sets up the sequel. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case as we will not be getting Aquaman 3. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the last of the WB/Snyder/Wan DC phase as the DCU will be revamped by James Gunn in 2025. He will be bringing in a new cast and looking at other storylines from the DC comics. However, Jason Momoa is open to being recast in Gunn’s DCverse as Lobo.
What could happen in Aquaman 3?
So far not much is known since it is most likely not happening.
But just because DCU is being revamped, this does not mean the end for Aquaman though it does seem that Jason Momoa will be hanging up his golden tights. However, there are several DC comics charting the missions and adventures of Arthur, the King of Atlantis and Aquaman that become the source material for new Aquaman movies.
And this is not the first or last Aquaman adaptation as along with Momoa, we have had versions with the likes of Alan Ritchson (of Reacher fame), Chris Diamantopoulos, Matt Lanter, Liam McIntyre and even Cary Elwes. Like Batman and Superman, for all we know Aquaman too would be getting a storyline in Gunn’s DCverse. One can only pray and wait.
