‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ Trailer Breakdown: Arthur and Orm Team Up in the Next Epic Adventure

The five-year wait is finally over. Jason Momoa is all set to return as Arthur Curry aka Aquaman, the half-human and half-Atlantean hero. The makers released the first trailer of the much-awaited sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom on Thursday. It follows the story of Arthur Curry who is “now a husband, and a father”. As he says in the trailer, “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Not to forget, he is also the king of Atlantis. This time Aquaman teams up with his imprisoned brother, the former King of Atlantis, Orm Marius (played by Patrick Wilson), to fight the ruthless Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II). The two are joined by their mother, former Queen Atlanna (Nicole Kidman) to save the kingdom from Black Manta who has returned to avenge his father’s death. Black Manta is more formidable than before because he wields the power of the Black Trident, an ancient and evil force. He also threatens to “kill Aquaman and everything he holds dear.” In the trailer, actress Amber Heard’s Mera also makes an appearance but just for a few seconds towards the end. This is Amber’s first project since the 2022 defamation trial against her ex-husband Johnny Depp. We also get a glimpse of Arthur Curry’s child and his father Tom Curry, who is a human and works as a lighthouse keeper.
