Alexa, play I Get Wet by Andrew W.K. The trailer to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom dropped on September 14, giving us something to splash in ahead of the film’s release on December 22. The trailer featured Jason Momoa in orange and green scaly splendor as Arthur Curry/Aquaman, who traded his unemployed “wanderer with no home” lifestyle for fatherhood and a job. Each day, he clocks in for his shift as King of Atlantis. “Half a billion people from every known species in the sea call this place home,” Momoa says. “But that doesn’t mean they all like me.” He’s referring to Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, an enemy vowing to absolutely wreck Aquaman. Also returning for the sequel to DC’s most financially successful film to date are Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, and Nicole Kidman. Though how much screentime all those folks are getting is anyone’s guess. It appears the third round of reshoots took some time, but James Wan denied reports that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was in hot water. DC movies can’t catch a break.
