Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Summary
As Black Manta is getting a bigger office inAquaman and the Lost Kingdom , James Wan share more about the villain ’s journeying in the DCEU movie . The DCEU is reach its final days asJames Gunn ’s DC Universewill be coming to animation as part of DC Studios . Aquaman and the Lost Kingdommay not have been planned to serve as the last movie for the DCEU , but it will by nonremittal by the coda .
Screen Rantrecently had the chance to only question Wan aboutthe characters inAquaman and the Lost Kingdom , including the rise of Black Manta . For Wan , it was key to limn how all Black Manta care about is"killing Arthur , destroying Arthur , and everything that Arthur cares about,“following the events of the firstAquamanmovie . free-base on 2018’sAquaman , Wan is excited for the audience to see how this pays off inAquaman and the Lost Kingdom , deal the following :
Here ’s the really cool thing . What I love about Black Manta is just how single - minded he is . He ’s like a shark , right ? All he cares about is kill Arthur , destroying Arthur , and destroy everything that Arthur care about because he holds Aquaman responsible for the death of his founder . That ’s from the laughable script that we love .
And the other affair I love about his character is that he ’s not a superhero . He ’s a normal , everyday human , but his will is so potent . He ’s a very smart type , and he ’s uncoerced to do whatever it admit to achieve his goal . And as we see in the trailer , he ’s unforced to make a good deal with the ogre to attain his goal .
The great affair is we ’ve established his character ’s motivation in the first movie . In this one , we can really just parachute directly into it and see what it is that he ’s try on to do .
Black Manta handle the Black Trident in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom , which is shown to be one of the most powerful DCEU weapon system .
Is Aquaman 3 Happening?
With all ofthe DC Universe movies and telecasting showsthat are in the kit and caboodle at DC Studios , Aquaman is currently not one of the characters who has a undertaking coming up . It is always possible that Arthur may be deliver till the 2d half of Chapter 1 , " Gods and Monsters , " but if that terminate up being the casing , it will be someone else playing Aquaman . In terms of Aquaman 3 happening with this stamp , it does n’t appear to be on the table for the sentence being as it seems like Warner Bros. Discovery is really closing the door on the DCEU .
IfAquaman and the Lost Kingdomwere to be a box office success , it may inspire DC Studios to doAquaman 3 , but most potential as an Elseworlds moving picture , which is what the DCEU would be study by the time the DC Universe starts . But if things go the elbow room they are now , this will be Momoa ’s last time playing Aquaman , after having join the DCEU throughBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justice . Whether or not Aquaman and the Lost Kingdomleave any hints about whereAquaman 3could hypothetically go remains to be realize .
Momoa is set to dally a new type in the DC Universe , with many speculating it to be Lobo .
It will be interesting to see ifAquaman and the Lost Kingdomgive any hearty determination to long - time DCEU audience members . Given how much they have had to change behind the vista , it would n’t be shocking if there is at least a slight sendoff in some capacity . But based on a lot of what Wan has say already , it sound likeAquaman and the Lost Kingdomis a standalone chapter .
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdomis scheduled to open in theatres on December 22 .
