[[WMG: The whole conflict and its resolution was a BatmanGambit by Vulko and possibly Mera]]
* Vulko knew or at least suspected that Arthur was the ChosenOne destined to retrieve Atlan's trident and unite four remaining kingdoms. However, Arthur had neither the wish nor the will to take his place as the king of Atlantis and conquer the three other kingdoms. Vulko therefore let Orm do the dirty work of engineering an alliance with the kingdom of Xebel and bring the Fishmen and Brine kingdoms under his heel, thus giving Arthur the dual role of savior and [[RightfulKingReturns rightful king]] when he defeated Orm. As a bonus point, Mera genuinely fell in love with Arthur who will be more likely to take her and Vulko's advice on how to rule Atlantis and the other three kingdoms now under his dominion. To recap, the scattered kingdoms of Atlantis are now under the rule of an inexperienced king who will depend on Vulko and Mera for advice on how to rule, JustAsPlanned.

*** Assuming, as seems likely from the film, that the Deserters were another close branch to Atlantis 'proper' (like Xebel), the high-born Deserters may have been able to breathe air, which means some might have left the city before the end and intermingled with surface humans in the area (it may even be the source of some Atlantis tales in-universe) -- so the Deserters might have left a small genetic mark on surface humanity, after all.

[[WMG: Either Wonder Woman or the Amazons will make a cameo.]]
The DCEU has made it clear that the Amazons and Atlanteans share a history together and they both have the same Hellenistic theme so it wouldn't feel jarring to see either of them in the film. Besides, there's no way Warner Bros. won't include a nod to Wonder Woman who is now the most famous DCEU character.
