Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force.
To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.
Directed by James Wan, the film will star Jason Momoa as King Arthur Curry/Aquaman, Patrick Wilson as Prince Orm Marius, Amber Heard as Queen Mera, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as David Kane/Black Manta, Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus, Randall Park as Dr. Stephen Shin, Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry, Nicole Kidman as Queen Atlanna, Vincent Regan as King Atlan, Indya Moore as Karshon, and Jani Zhao as Stingray.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the sequel to Aquaman. It will be the fifteenth and final installment in the DC Extended Universe. The film is scheduled to release on December 20, 2023.
