Following the events of the 2018’s ‘Aquaman’, the sequel dives deeper into the complexities of Arthur Curry’s reign over Atlantis. He faces daunting adversaries, from old foes to emerging threats. As David Kane, also known as Black Manta, wields the menacing Black Trident, Aquaman’s duty extends beyond the throne, compelling him to protect his realm and loved ones from an ancient power. His quest for resolution sees him forging unlikely alliances, especially with his imprisoned brother, Orm.
Regarding the DCU’s roadmap, James Gunn has emphasized that the true canon begins with “Creature Commandos”, serving as an introductory taste, followed by a more detailed exploration with “Superman: Legacy” in 2025. While there may be familiar characters and plots carried over from past DC productions, the authentic continuity and narrative of the DCU will only be firmly established with these upcoming releases.
‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ is set to grace theaters in the United States on December 20, 2023.
