'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' releases trailer with Black Manta's return for revenge

It was thought that Arthur Curry's (Jason Momoa) enemy - Aquaman, now the king of Atlantis - Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), was devastated after the battle with him on land, but no, he reappeared in Atlantis with the vow to "destroy everything" that Aquaman created. But more dangerously, now the defeated man possesses the Black Trident, a weapon with the power to unleash all evil from every corner of the ocean.

Holding the Black Trident in his hand, Black Manta vows to destroy everything that belongs to Aquaman.

Five years after the events of the first part (released in 2018, grossing over $1.14 billion worldwide), director James Wan returns to the big screen with the next project that continues the story of demigod Arthur Curry. At the beginning of the 2-minute-long trailer, Arthur Curry is now living peacefully on land as a father, temporarily putting aside his role as ruler of the ocean. However, when evil is quietly rising from the deep sea, Arthur Curry must once again call on allies to first, destroy evil and then unite the Seven Kingdoms.

One of his allies is now his brother Orm (Patrick Wilson), as well as many other allies who have been called and recruited from across the ocean. Aquaman is mobilizing an all-out war against the common enemy of the Seven Kingdoms. A series of old characters return in part 2, such as Amber Heard's Queen Mera, Nicole Kidman's former Queen of Atlantis, Atlanna, or Willem Dafoe's character...

What are the economic threats after the film's release?

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is scheduled for release on December 20 this year, but according to the Hollywood Reporter , the film faces many risks if the large-scale strike in Hollywood shows no signs of "cooling down", or is completely resolved by December this year. It is fortunate that the film keeps its release date compared to its "brother" Dune: Part II (which was postponed from November this year to March 2024), but Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is economically threatened if the strike is not over and will make it difficult for the stars to promote the film before "G time".

This is also a blockbuster that has suffered a lot. Having gone through three management periods at Warner Bros., and many reshoots and postponements since the Covid-19 pandemic until now, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom can be considered a "gamble" for the studios this year. Not to mention, the previous films released by Warner Bros. - The Flash and Blue Beetle - were not profitable films, and this created a lot of pressure for the filmmakers.
