Aquaman 2 Post Credits Scene is the Most Disgusting Ever in Comic Book History
The post-credits scene in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has left fans bemused and grossed out rather than excited for the future. The scene depicts Aquaman’s half-brother Orm happily eating a burger with a cockroach inside. This silly callback to an earlier joke in the film has fans questioning the future of Jason Momoa’s Aquaman in the DC Universe. The sequel marks the return of Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman, as he battles new threats to Atlantis. The adventure spans the globe and concludes with a decisive battle in Antarctica. Given the epic scale and finality, fans expected the post-credits scene to tease Aquaman’s future. Instead, the scene focuses solely on Patrick Wilson’s Orm, Aquaman’s half-brother and former enemy.

How Does The Aquaman 2 Post-Credits Scene Connect to the Movie?
According to Vox, earlier in Aquaman 2, Aquaman tricks Orm into eating a cockroach by claiming they taste delicious. The post-credits scene shows Orm finally trying burgers and beer at the Surface World bar. When a cockroach appears, Orm excitedly crushes it into his burger and takes a big satisfied bite.
The silly scene is a callback joke about Orm’s odd taste buds but also shows his openness to life above water. However, it provides no hints about Aquaman 3 or Jason Momoa’s future as the character. WB and DC Studios are revamping their cinematic universe, so Jason Momoa likely won’t return. The scene focuses on Orm instead of teasing another Aquaman adventure.

Why Are Fans Grossed Out?
Seeing Orm happily eat a bug-filled burger turned fans’ stomachs. After an epic underwater adventure, the gross-out moment felt out of place. Fans expected a teaser for the future, not a joke about Orm’s unusual palate. The scene highlights why Momoa and WB are likely moving on from this Aquaman incarnation.
Rather than excite fans, the post-credits scene has them questioning Aquaman’s future and grossed out by Orm’s burger choice. It offers no hints about upcoming projects from DC Studios. James Gunn and Peter Safran are revamping the DCU, so this goofy scene likely marks the end of Momoa’s Aquaman era.
Aquaman 2 concludes the standalone Aquaman series and marks the final DCEU film before DC Studios reboots the cinematic universe. The goofy post-credits scene offers no hints about future DCU projects from James Gunn and Peter Safran.
