Black Manta is out for revenge in trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Jason Momoa and Patrick Wilson are essentially co-stars in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Warner Bros. has released the official trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the oft-delayed sequel to 2018's Aquaman, which introduced the world to Jason Momoa as the exiled heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. This time around, we find Aquaman juggling domestic duties while battling an existential threat to Atlantis in the form of an old foe bent on exacting revenge.

When it was first announced, Aquaman initially struck me as an odd choice for a superhero movie. After all, that was the role-deemed ripe for satire-that Entourage's fictional actor Vincent Chase took on, with James Cameron supposedly directing for purposes of the plot. Then early images appeared with Jason Momoa in all his Aquaman glory, and many people changed their tune. The finished film wasn't a slam dunk with critics-I enjoyed it well enough but thought the plot was an unholy mess-but you sure couldn't argue with that box office return. Aquaman grossed a whopping $1.15 billion worldwide, the highest-grossing film in the DCEU.
