Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom

[IMJ]

The first Aquaman had the benefit of being something new - truly the first fleshed out "underwater Superhero" on film. And it had some decent set pieces throughout as well.

But that's what carried that movie. Nobody cares about "Aquaman" as a franchise.

And post-Black Panther 2 and Avatar 2, probably people are bored with the underwater stuff. At least, certainly the novelty is over. We'll see. If there's snazzy trailers there might be some buzz, but I doubt it.

4 Days we get a trailer

Looks pretty good for a troubled production.

Might just pull off a minor miracle with this

Plot Synopsis

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.

So.... just a repeat villain? They couldn't get Ocean Master or someone?

Orm was Ocean Master in the first Aquaman movie. Black Manta is Aquaman's main villain so it makes sense.

Anybody think the final cut will have largely cut most of Heard's scenes from the film. In the Teaser, she basically has a cameo... and even then it looked like full CGI to me.

EDIT: I guess her only inclusion is this:

But at first watch, I thought this was supposed to be her too:

Ah coulda sworn Black Manta WAS the villain of the first movie, for a similar reason, main villain and all that.

He was the B-Plot and got that cool, middle of the movie set piece in, I think it was Greece.

Never in a million years would I have thought Black Manta was cool, but that movie pulled it off, man.

Optimistically, Momoa has a lot of goodwill from fans, and he brings the women into the theaters demographically. Definitely there is cause for concern but it MIGHT be OK. Unless they start cutting new trailers talking about fascism or something.

I'm sure a lot of women would overlook that as long as Momoa is shirtless a lot in the rest of the trailer.

Again, looks impressive, and the humour is complimentary to the action and drama and doesn't overtake anything.

[Autbot_Benz]

ya I think it looks fun too. not the dumpster fire some bloggers were crowing about

[ProphetofGanja]

OK this looks pretty fun, I may try to see it in the theater

More drama from the set has emerged in court documents acquired by Johnny Depp fans, revealing Jason Mamoa would turn up drunk to filming dressed as Amber's ex-husband and conspiring to have her removed, and almost succeeded had it not been for the threat of a lawsuit by Elon Musk

I don't believe anything Amber Turd says. Just flush her down the toilet already
