In the newly released trailer, Black Manta, portrayed by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, seeks revenge for his father’s death. He ominously declares: “I will kill Aquaman and destroy everything he loves.”
According to the production team, the summary of the upcoming sequel is highly anticipated by fans. It states: “After his initial failure to defeat Aquaman, Black Manta is driven by the need for revenge for his father’s death. He will not rest until he has confronted Aquaman time and time again. This time, Black Manta returns stronger than ever, wielding the legendary Black Trident, unleashing a terrifying force that is ancient and evil.”
To heighten the stakes, Aquaman will enlist the help of his brother, Orm, the former King of Atlantis, who is currently imprisoned, to form a difficult alliance. They must work together to combat various threats to their kingdom and protect Aquaman’s family legacy while trying to prevent the world from descending into chaos.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the sequel to the successful film Aquaman released in 2018, will showcase the ongoing battle between Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II).
Directed by the “horror king” James Wan, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom promises a visually stunning experience with a captivating storyline, featuring a star-studded cast. Under his direction, the entire realm of Atlantis is reimagined in vibrant detail, leaving audiences in awe.
The original Aquaman grossed over $1 billion at the box office, making it the highest-grossing film in the DC Extended Universe to date. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is set to premiere on December 20, five years after the first film made its debut in 2018.
