While several sources have stated that Aquaman is a mostly standalone DCEU joint, and therefore fans shouldn't expect a post-credits tag featuring any other Justice League members, it's been rumoured that the film does feature a direct set-up for Aquaman 2.
The plausible word on the street is that a scene in Aquaman's end credits will show Arthur Curry's (Jason Momoa) marine biologist pal Dr. Stephen Shin (Randall Park) deciding to team up with Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) to take Aquaman down.
It's a sequel-bait set-up that's simple and elegant enough that it's incredibly easy to believe. The movie will presumably end with Arthur becoming the King of Atlantis, while Black Manta is positioned as the primary antagonist for Aquaman 2. Neat and tidy.
