One king will lead us all. #Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom – only in cinemas from December 20.
Director James Wan and Aquaman himself Jason Momoa – along with Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Nicole Kidman – return in the sequel to the highest-grossing DC film of all time: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
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 defeat Aquaman once and for all. This time, Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythical Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent power. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former king of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must put aside their differences to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family and the world from irreversible destruction.
Still returning to his roles, Jason Momoa plays Arthur Curry/Aquaman, now juggling his duties as both the king of Atlantis and a new father; Patrick Wilson as Orm, Aquaman’s half-brother and nemesis, who must now step into a new role as his brother’s reluctant ally; Amber Heard – Mera, Queen of Atlantis and mother of the heir to the throne; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is Black Manta, who is more determined than ever to avenge his father’s death by destroying Aquaman, his family and Atlantis; and Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, a fierce leader and mother with the heart of a warrior. Also reprising their roles are Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus and Randall Park as Dr. Stephen Sheen.
