In a triumphant return to the depths of the cinematic universe, Jason Momoa reprises his iconic role as Arthur Curry, also known as Aquaman, and now the reigning King of Atlantis, in the highly-anticipated sequel, “Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom.” Directed by James Wan, the first full trailer has surfaced, taking us on an exhilarating plunge into Aquaman’s aquatic adventures. Dive into the trailer below.
Five years have passed since we first encountered Momoa’s half-human, half-Atlantean hero in the original “Aquaman” film, and now we witness Arthur Curry in a new chapter of his life. He’s not only found himself on the throne of Atlantis but also navigating the uncharted waters of fatherhood. But as life throws its challenges at him, he must gear up once again to face off against the formidable Black Manta, portrayed by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Black Manta now wields the mythical Black Trident, a harbinger of ancient malevolence.
The heart-pounding trailer introduces us to eldritch Lovecraftian horrors from the abyss, Arthur’s efforts to reconcile with his imprisoned brother Orm (Patrick Wilson), and his grand mission to unite the Seven Kingdoms against a common, malevolent adversary. It’s all in a day’s work for the King of Atlantis.
While speculation swirled about the cast, Amber Heard is confirmed to return as Atlantean Queen Mera. The ensemble also includes Nicole Kidman, Temuera Morrison, Willem Dafoe, and Dolph Lundgren, reprising their roles from the original film. Randall Park, previously making a cameo appearance, joins the cast in a more substantial role for this epic sequel. As for the return of the drum-playing octopi that charmed us in the first film, well, that remains to be seen. Here’s to hoping they make a splash!
Mark your calendars, as “Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom” is set to make waves in cinemas starting December 20.
