DC Studios has just unleashed the latest trailer for “Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom,” signaling the culmination of the current DC cinematic era before James Gunn and Peter Safran usher in the rejuvenated DC Universe. In this eagerly anticipated sequel, Jason Momoa reprises his role as Arthur Curry, better known as the strapping Aquaman, our chiseled and heroic protagonist, while Patrick Wilson once again graces the screen as Orm, who wears the dual hat of Arthur’s half-brother and occasional nemesis. And, it’s worth noting, he’s quite the dashing and muscular antagonist.

In 2018’s “Aquaman,” Arthur Curry embarked on a treacherous odyssey to secure a legendary trident and stake his claim to the throne of Atlantis. His mission: thwart his brother Orm’s ambitious plans to wage war on the Surface World. As loyal fans will recall, Aquaman successfully foiled Orm’s warmongering schemes, effectively sending him to a watery prison. But fast forward to the present, and these two rivals find themselves in an uneasy alliance, compelled to unite against the menace of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s Black Manta, who’s back and hungrier than ever for revenge.

It appears that the intricate and often tumultuous relationship between the two brothers will take center stage in “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” adding layers of emotional depth to this eagerly awaited sequel. As director James Wan hinted at during a recent CinemaCon event, “Orm may have been the villain in the first film, but this time around, Arthur needs him to thwart the vengeful Black Manta and prevent the release of a potent, ancient evil.” Arthur and Orm’s journey will also introduce viewers to awe-inspiring underwater realms, delivering on the breathtaking visuals that wowed audiences in the previous installment.

But that’s not all. The trailer teases the presence of an enormous contraption known as the “Octobot,” emerging from the enigmatic Lost Kingdom, the seventh underwater principality formed from the submerged remnants of Atlantis, which mysteriously vanished, as hinted in the first “Aquaman” film. Furthermore, the movie promises to maintain the tradition of infusing the DC cinematic universe with fun and absurdity, exemplified by Arthur’s daring escapade riding Storm, his colossal domesticated seahorse. If that single spectacle doesn’t entice audiences, one might wonder what possibly could.

The ensemble cast will see the return of Amber Heard as Mera, Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus, and Temuera Morrison as Aquaman’s father, Tom Curry. Notably, Momoa recently reprised his role as Arthur Curry in “The Flash,” sharing the screen with fellow DC luminaries Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, and Gal Gadot. When asked about potential crossovers, director Wan remained coy, stating, “The early challenge was not knowing whether ‘Aquaman’ would precede or follow ‘The Flash.’ So, we prepared for both possibilities. Ultimately, what I can say is that ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ stands entirely on its own. You’ll have to await the movie’s release for the full scoop.”

Mark your calendars for December 20th, when “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” makes its theatrical debut. In the meantime, satisfy your anticipation by watching the thrilling trailer below:
