DC Comics has unveiled the first trailer for the superhero sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom [AQUM2] directed by James Wan [JWAN]. Jason Momoa [JMOMO] returns as Aquaman to take on his arch-enemy Black Manta, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II [YABDU]. Patrick Wilson [PWILS], Amber Heard [AHEAR] and Nicole Kidman [NKIDM] also reprise their roles from the first film. Warner Bros. will release Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom in theaters on December 20th.
Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.
All returning to the roles they originated, Jason Momoa plays Arthur Curry/Aquaman, now balancing his duties as both the King of Atlantis and a new father; Patrick Wilson is Orm, Aquaman’s half-brother and his nemesis, who must now step into a new role as his brother’s reluctant ally; Amber Heard is Mera, Atlantis’ Queen and mother of the heir to the throne; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is Black Manta, committed more than ever to avenge his father’s death by destroying Aquaman, his family and Atlantis; and Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, a fierce leader and mother with the heart of a warrior. Also reprising their roles are Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus and Randall Park as Dr. Stephen Shin.
