Warner Bros. has released the final trailer forAquaman. The superhero’s solo movie is part origin story about how he’s the child of two worlds who trained to become king of Atlantis, and part adventure of trying to find a special trident that will save the underwater city.
This is definitely the best trailer yet, not so much because of the plot involving the trident stuff (you knew this movie was probably going to have a macguffin of some kind), but because of how it looks. Yes, we had seen various trailers before showing the bright, colorful design of the movie, but it’s amazing how drastically different this looks fromJustice Leagueor evenWonder Woman. I have to admit thatJames Wan’s movie, at least from a visual perspective, appears dazzling, and I’m eager to see it on the big screen.
Check out the finalAquamantrailer below. The film opens December 21st (although Amazon Prime memberscan get tickets to see it earlier) and starsJason Momoaas Arthur Curry/Aquaman,Patrick Wilsonas King Orm/Ocean Master,Amber Heardas Mera,Willem Dafoeas Vulko,Temuera Morrisonas Tom Curry,Dolph Lundgrenas Nereus,Yahya Abdul-Mateen IIas Black Manta, andNicole Kidmanas Atlanna.
Here’s the official synopsis forAquaman:
From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be…a king.
The film also stars Amber Heard (“Justice League,” “Magic Mike XXL”) as Mera, a fierce warrior and Aquaman’s ally throughout his journey; Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (“Platoon,” “Spider-Man 2”) as Vulko, council to the Atlantean throne; Patrick Wilson (“The Conjuring” films, “Watchmen”) as Orm/Ocean Master, the present King of Atlantis; Dolph Lundgren (“The Expendables” films) as Nereus, King of the Atlantean tribe Xebel; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Netflix’s “The Get Down”) as the vengeful Black Manta; and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman (“The Hours,” “Lion”) as Arthur’s mom, Atlanna; as well as Ludi Lin (“Power Rangers”) as Captain Murk, Atlantean Commando; and Temuera Morrison (“Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones,” “Green Lantern”) as Arthur’s dad, Tom Curry.
