New trailer: Aquaman has a classic look and driving action
Jason Momoa makes this stupid costume look good.
Warner Bros. Pictures launched a new trailer for Aquaman at New York Comic-Con. While the trailer contains a few scenes we've already seen, it delves into most of them and details the upcoming movie's explosive action and wacky humor.
The first half of the trailer focuses on the origins of Arthur, who is half human and half Atlantian, before closing a funny scene where Arthur and Mera are looking for the Trident of Atlantis. However, the big reveals are in the second half of the trailer. First, starting at 3:20, we'll get our first detailed look at Black Manta.
In the comics, Black Manta, whose real name is David Kane, has a grudge against Aquaman after the submarine hero killed Kane's father. Even if Black Manta plays a minor role in Aquaman, his presence hints at a few future stories we can look forward to.
Another big reveal is right at the end of the trailer. In the final shot, we can clearly see Arthur in the green and gold uniform that the character wears in the comics, as well as several animated series and films. He also holds the Trident of Atlantis. Aquaman arrives in theaters on December 21st.
