Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Amber Heard punching the glass in The first trailer for ‘AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM’ which got released.
The first major story reveal found in Aquaman 2’s trailer is the film’s placement on the DCEU timeline. The film is releasing five years after the first movie, yet Arthur’s voiceover in the trailer proves that more time has passed in-universe since he became King of Atlantis. Arthur mentions that four years ago, he was a simple loner who took no responsibility for his heritage before taking Atlantis from his brother Orm, proving that Aquaman 2 takes this amount of time after the first film.
The new trailer reacquaints viewers with Arthur Curry, a.k.a. Aquaman (Jason Momoa). In this installment, Aquaman and his half-brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) join forces to fight Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), who threatens to “kill Aquaman and everything he holds dear.” The sequel, set to arrive in theaters five years after the first movie, has been long anticipated by DC fans following pandemic-related delays. But onlookers who followed the trial have also been curious about Heard’s role given her comments and the ensuing speculation. Many have been picking up on the hints gleaned from the new trailer in comments across social media.
Despite Wan’s return, many have wondered how Aquaman 2 will factor into the wider state of DC Films given that James Gunn’s DCU reboot is imminent. That said, the first trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom seems inherently focused on selling the self-contained, standalone story of the sequel to the first movie. As such, here is every story reveal and hidden detail found in the first trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Naturally, the character of Arthur has progressed in these unseen four years. One way in which this is the case is through his relationship with Amber Heard’s Mera who this time will have a reduced role as part of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’s cast of characters in light of the actress’s court case involving Johnny Depp. In the time elapsed between Aquaman and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Arthur and Mera have been married as indicated by the family life shown between the two in the first trailer for the sequel.
“Wow, a whole 3 seconds of Amber Heard,” one X user commented under DC’s official post with the new trailer. “You guys are cowards.” Another X user wrote, “I didn’t even see her. Must’ve blinked.” On YouTube, the comments are largely positive, with a few stray mentions of Heard (or the lack thereof). “No sign of Amber Heard except for a quick blink and you’ll miss it scene, but that can mean anything,” someone wrote.
