Aquaman 2 may be repeating an MCU movie's story.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom's plot shares some similarities with one of the least popular MCU movies, Thor: The Dark World. Not only did James Wan's 2018 Aquaman earn the top spot in the DCEU's box office rankings, but it also remains the highest grossing DC movie of all time.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom's first full trailer reveals that Aquaman has enjoyed a few years of tranquility between Atlantis and the surface world. He has welcomed a son and fulfilled his responsibilities as King of Atlantis. However, Black Manta will force him to reconcile with his exiled brother Orm, and together they will try to protect Atlantis from an ancient threat unleashed by Aquaman's archnemesis.

In Thor: The Dark World, Thor reunites with Loki, faces Malekith, stops the Aether from destroying Asgard, and mourns his mother Frigga. In Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Aquaman reunites with Orm, faces Black Manta, and tries to stop Black Manta's Black Trident from destroying Atlantis' seven kingdoms. Since Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom introduces Aquaman's son, it's possible that Arthur Curry Jr.

Other superhero movies have already implemented the hero-villain team-up idea. For example, Fox's X-Men movie franchise used it repeatedly with Magneto and Charles Xavier, and Zack Snyder's Justice League revealed a future where heroes like Batman, Mera, and the Flash found themselves forced to join forces with villains like Deathstroke and the Joker to defeat Superman and Darkseid.
