Warner Brothers Discovery’s presentation at CinemaCon 2023 gave us our first have a look at Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the sequel to 2018’s field workplace hit, Aquaman. In this trailer (which isn’t on-line) Aquaman and Orm staff as much as tackle Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s Black Manta, a villain from the primary movie.
In the primary movie Jason Momoa was accompanied by Amber Heard’s Mera as not solely his eventual love curiosity, however as a fellow superhero serving to Aquaman save the day. However, after the controversy relating to Heard and Johnny Depp’s very public break up and televised lawsuit, it could seem (at the very least based mostly on this CinemaCon footage) that DC has determined to take the character out of the highlight.
The Mera character didn’t have a single talking half in the complete trailer; and the few glimpses we acquired of her had been temporary. Orm, performed by Patrick Wilson, seems to be filling these footwear and taking over the function of Aquaman’s “assist” versus being the movie’s villain.

This function reversal jogged my memory a lot of Thor: The Dark World; within the first Thor movie we see Loki as the primary antagonist, in addition to in The Avengers. But then in The Dark World we see Loki damaged out of jail by Thor in order that he may also help him battle a higher menace. And that’s precisely what occurs on this Lost Kingdom trailer.
In each Aquaman and Thor’s first solo movies, we noticed brothers battling over the throne. And now in The Lost Kingdom trailer, we see Aquaman releases his brother from jail in order that he may also help him tackle Black Manta, who’s now in possession of a highly effective new weapon, the black trident.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is at present scheduled to open in theaters on December 20.
