A more villainous Black Manta takes center stage in new Aquaman2 footage screened at CinemaCon. Plus, Jason Momoa dons his classic comics costume!
Warner Bros. screened new footage from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom at CinemaCon that confirms Black Manta's villain origin story continues. The DCEU film is a direct sequel to 2018's Aquaman, which starred Jason Momoa as the titular hero, otherwise known as Arthur Curry. The sixth film in the DC Extended Universe also saw Yahya Abdul-Mateen II portray the ruthless pirate and mercenary David Kane, who dons an Atlantean-powered suit to become Black Manta and take on Momoa's character.
Aquaman briefly presented Black Manta's origin story when it revealed Arthur killed the leader of a pirate gang attempting to hijack a Russian submarine. David, the son of the slain pirate leader, vows revenge against Arthur. Later on in Aquaman, the present king of Atlantis, Orm Marius , gifts David the Atlantean battle suit to kill Arthur. David rechristens himself as Black Manta and manages to injure Arthur; however, Arthur ultimately defeats him.
In recent interviews, Abdul-Mateen II has revealed that Aquaman 2 will show more of Black Manta's personality. This supposedly will include showcasing the villain's leadership skills, which were briefly teased in the beginning of Aquaman.
While many fans praised Black Manta's design in Aquaman, some felt he was underdeveloped and would have been better served in another film. Warner Bros. was planning a Black Manta solo film after Aquaman; however, it was later scrapped. Hopefully, as the CinemaCon footage implies, elements of the Black Manta spin-off will be incorporated into Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and the character will play more of a role in the 2023 film.
