Aquaman 2 could be available for streaming at the end of February

As of now, Warner Bros. has not announced digital or streaming release plans for the sequel yet. However, based on industry trends, we can make informed speculations about when viewers might get the chance to enjoy Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom from the comfort of their homes.

Warner Bros. has traditionally made its releases available for digital purchase or rental approximately a month after their theatrical debut. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom's box office performance suggests that an extended exclusive theatrical run might not be the studio's strategy.

According to insights from The Direct, Aquaman 2's exclusive theatrical run is expected to conclude in late January or early February 2024. If Aquaman 2 follows a similar release timeline as other Warner Bros. films, we might see it available on streaming platforms like HBO Max by late February 2024.

Aquaman 2 could also become available for rent or purchase on popular video-on-demand sites such as Amazon, Vudu, and Apple TV+. However, it's crucial to note that these timelines are speculative, and no official confirmation has been provided by Warner Bros.

About Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Directed by James Wan, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom serves as the sequel to Aquaman (2018) and the last installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry/Aquaman, with a supporting cast including Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Randall Park, Dolph Lundgren, Temuera Morrison, Martin Short, and Nicole Kidman.

The plot follows Arthur's efforts to thwart Black Manta's revenge plot and prevent the misuse of a cursed Black Trident that could lead to catastrophic consequences for the planet.

The narrative takes Arthur and Orm to a volcanic island, where they discover the origin of the black trident and its connection to the lost kingdom of Necrus.

The story intensifies as Manta kidnaps Arthur Jr., prompting Arthur and Orm to embark on a mission to save the child. In the climactic confrontation in Necrus, Arthur faces Manta possessed by the spirit of Kordax.

Necrus collapses after Kordax’s defeat, and Manta, refusing Arthur's help, falls into a fissure. The Atlanteans, along with Stephen Shin, escape safely and Arthur decides to let Orm wander free rather than forcing him to return to prison.

Arthur, recognizing the necessity of uniting the underwater kingdoms and the surface world to preserve the oceans, reveals Atlantis' existence.

He declares his intent to make Atlantis a member state of the UN, setting the stage for a new era of cooperation between the submerged and terrestrial realms.

The post-credits scene catches up with Orm enjoying his new life. He tries a cheeseburger from the surface world, which Arthur had been telling him about earlier in the film.
