Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom

Orm gets possessed after touching the cursed Black Trident during the battle in Necrus. The trident is the ancient weapon that houses Kordax's dark power, and when Orm grasps it, the demonic entity takes control of his body, turning him against Arthur.

Earlier scenes established the Black Trident as a corrupting force that grants immense power but also consumes the wielder.

Arthur reaches out to Orm through their shared memories and brotherly love, reminding him of their bond and past experiences together. This emotional connection proves stronger than Kordax's corruption, allowing Orm to regain his senses and turn against the demon.

The film builds toward their reconciliation after their earlier conflict in the first movie.

David refuses Arthur's offer of help and forgiveness during the final confrontation. Driven by his thirst for revenge after his father's death, he chooses to stand by his hatred rather than accept redemption. In the chaos of the battle, he sacrifices himself rather than be saved.

David's refusal to accept any help was established earlier when he consistently rejected attempts at reconciliation.

Yes, the underwater kingdoms and the surface world unite by the end of the movie. Arthur reveals their existence to humans and they work together to protect the planet's natural beauty, with Arthur addressing the United Nations to call for global cooperation.

This fulfills Arthur's goal from the first movie of bridging the surface and underwater worlds.

Arthur addresses the United Nations calling for cooperation among all nations to safeguard the Earth's future. The ending emphasizes environmental stewardship and unity, with the underwater kingdoms now openly working with surface nations to protect the planet.

The entire movie revolves around threats to ocean stability and nature.

Arthur and Orm work together to defeat Kordax. After Arthur breaks Kordax's possession over Orm, the brothers combine their forces to destroy the demonic king. With David's death refusing to complete the ritual, the threat of Kordax's army is also eradicated.

The Black Trident was established as both the source of Kordax's power and his weakness.

Arthur rescues his son from David, who had kidnapped the child to Necrus to complete a ritual that would break the curse and release Kordax's army. Arthur and his forces arrive just as David is about to kill the boy, saving him from harm.

David's kidnapping of Arthur's family was set up as his ultimate move for revenge.

Yes, Orm survives. After being freed from Kordax's possession through Arthur's emotional appeal to their brotherly bond, Orm helps Arthur defeat the monster. He lives and presumably returns to his role in the underwater kingdoms as part of the unified realm.

The film sets up their reconciliation and Orm's redemption arc throughout.

This question addresses common search intent about post-movie content. The standard theatrical version concludes with Arthur's UN speech as the final scene. Any additional scenes would need to be confirmed based on specific theatrical release details.
