After months of teasing, director James Wan finally unleashed the Aquaman trailer at San Diego Comic-Con’s Saturday Warner Bros. panel. This follows up on a bonkers new poster and star Jason Momoa jumping off a cliff to build some shirtless anticipation. Previously, Momoa indicated that he and Wan shared a united vision for a badass Aquaman, but does that vibe translate in the trailer?
Also starring Amber Heard (as Mera), Patrick Wilson (as Orm), Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (as Black Manta), and Nicole Kidman (as Queen Atlanna), the Aquaman trailer was described as “extraordinary” by studio executives, but “badassery” still appears to be the prevailing litmus test here.
This looks superb. C’mon, there’s a decent talking-to-fish joke in there as well! Warner Bros. and DC Comics have been criticized for years over their two-serious approach to superheros, so maybe Aquaman can be the character who bites the bait and proves that a badass can take a joke. Or not!
Here’s the film’s synopsis:
From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an acition-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.”
Aquaman shall arrive in theaters on December 21.
