After years of uneasy peace, the seven kingdoms of Atlantis are once again on the brink of war. Aquaman 3: Kingdoms Collide thrusts Arthur Curry into his greatest challenge yet, as new threats rise from both beneath the waves and beyond.

A mysterious force—led by King Nerus, a warlord from the hidden kingdom of Necralantis—seeks to conquer not just the ocean, but the surface world as well. His dark army, fused with ancient oceanic magic, threatens to tear apart everything Arthur has fought to protect.

To stop an all-out war, Aquaman must unite old enemies, forge new alliances, and face Black Manta, who returns stronger than ever with a vengeance that knows no limits. As the line between good and evil blurs, Arthur’s duty as a king is put to the ultimate test: will he choose peace, or power?
