As of now, “Aquaman 3” is highly anticipated, though no official plot details have been confirmed. However, based on the previous films and the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) narrative, a potential storyline can be speculated.
In “Aquaman 3”, Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa), now fully established as the King of Atlantis, might face his greatest challenge yet—a cataclysmic threat from both the land and sea. Having united the underwater kingdoms in the previous films, Arthur’s goal now would be to maintain peace and harmony between these realms while balancing his responsibilities as a ruler and protector.
A possible scenario could involve Arthur confronting an ancient, deep-sea menace that has lain dormant for centuries, only to awaken due to disturbances caused by surface world activities, such as environmental exploitation. This villain could be a new force, maybe a forgotten god or a legendary sea monster that challenges Aquaman’s claim to the throne and the balance between the ocean and the surface world.
Meanwhile, the political tensions within Atlantis and the Seven Seas continue to simmer. Mera (Amber Heard) would play a vital role as both Arthur’s queen and trusted advisor, helping him navigate the diplomatic struggles of ruling Atlantis while contending with threats from old allies and enemies alike. Her powerful hydrokinetic abilities will prove crucial in defending Atlantis from invasion, especially when treacherous factions within Atlantis attempt to undermine Arthur’s reign.
It’s also possible that Orm (Patrick Wilson), Arthur’s half-brother and former foe, would return, either seeking redemption or acting as an uneasy ally. His knowledge of Atlantean lore and politics would be invaluable, even if his intentions remain suspicious.
In addition to personal and political battles, the environmental themes introduced in earlier films could become more pronounced, with the surface world’s ecological damage threatening both humans and Atlanteans. Arthur would have to unite these worlds to protect their shared future.
Action-packed underwater sequences, epic battles, and breathtaking visual effects will likely return, making “Aquaman 3” an exciting continuation of the DCEU’s oceanic saga.
