Once again, the SnyderVerse is proven relevant.
After making waves in the home entertainment market, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is now making noise again, this time on Netflix.
The flick was officially released two years ago as of yesterday.
According to Nielsen’s latest streaming rankings, the Jason Momoa-led DC flick cracked the Top 10 for the week of November 24 through November 30, 2025, coming in at #8 overall with a massive 430 million minutes watched.
SnyderVerse Keeps Surfacing
Despite being dismissed by critics and failing to break even at the box office, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has become a symbol of the lasting popularity of Zack Snyder’s vision for the DCEU.
As a final chapter in the Snyder-connected universe, the film’s ongoing digital success—first through home media, and now Netflix—proves there’s still demand for the tone and characters that Snyder helped define.
With characters like Momoa’s Arthur Curry directly spawned from Snyder’s Justice League, and a supporting cast built during that era, the movie serves as a spiritual epilogue to the SnyderVerse. And viewers are clearly still tuning in.
A Quiet Streaming Comeback
That 430 million minutes viewed places Aquaman 2 above HBO Max and Prime Video films released during that same week, showing that even without a marketing blitz or theatrical success, interest in the DCEU’s past remains high.
Combined with its previously reported strong home video performance (as confirmed by Warner Bros. Discovery in their investor call), the film continues to deliver where it counts.
Zack Snyder even recently posted new Aquaman images of Jason Momoa and Amber Heard as Mera.
Can James Gunn capitalize?
Of all Zack Snyder’s Justice League actors, James Gunn only chose to keep Jason Momoa, who will debut as Lobo in Supergirl.
As the trailer only gave fans a glimpse of Jason Momoa as Lobo, what remains to be seen is how Gunn handles the character.
Will the DCU Lobo become another goofy self-parody like Gunn’s Peacemaker, Superman, and Lex Luthor? Or will the DCU Lobo be the badass character it deserves to be, similar to the SnyderVerse Aquaman?
