But whether you want to see out the DCU in full, or simply decide for yourself whether it stood among the best superhero movies of 2023, we’ve got you covered on how. Here’s where you can watch Aquaman 2.

Is Aquaman 2 on streaming?

Yes, Aquaman 2 is available to stream on Max — it arrived on the streaming service back in February 2024.

No surprises there, since this is usually where Warner Bros’ DC movies tend to land.

The movie was originally set for release on December 16, 2022, and was later moved to March 17, 2023, when Warner Bros. adjusted its release schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

What is Aquaman 2 about?

Aquaman 2 saw Arthur Curry (aka: Aquaman) team up with his half-brother Orm to battle Black Manta, the newest DC villain on the block, and stop him from using the Black Trident.

The full synopsis reads: “Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force.

“To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.”
