Aquaman 2 post-credit scene: How many twists are there in Jason Momoa's 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom'
Aquaman 2 or "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" is about to release in the theatres in the US and other countries. Fans are anticipating a surprise twist after the post-credits in Jason Momoa's film. Despite initial excitement, the buzz for Aquaman 2 has diminished, influenced by the prevailing negativity surrounding the sequel. Compounding the issue are less-than-encouraging box office projections. Adding to the uncertainty, the review embargo for the film, led by Jason Momoa, is scheduled to be lifted on Thursday, December 21, a mere day before its official theatrical release in the United States.
