When people think about superheroes in the DC universe a lot of people have Aquaman as the low man on the totem pole. A lot of people look at this character as a hero that lives under the sea and can talk to fish and that’s it. However, when Justice League dropped we saw an reimagining of the character and while Justice League was a big flop they decided to do a solo movie based on this character. Myself I was skeptical as most of the DC movies as of late really failed to impress me.
Again I was proven wrong with this new trailer.
The trailer starts out with Arthur Curry narrating how he came to be. How his father was a lighthouse keeper and his mother was a queen of Atlantea. We then go forward to when he is just a little boy and on a trip to the aquarium. There are two older boys that pick on him teasing him that he talked to fish and slam him against the glass of the tank. One of the great white sharks slams against the glass scaring everyone and leaving a big crack in the glass. As he looks up all the fish are lined up right behind him.
And that’s just for starters. We then find out the basic plot of the movie as he needs to go back home to Atlantea. His brother who is King Orm is about to wage war against the surface world and Arthur is the only person that can stop him. The rest of the trailer shows a lot of the action happening above and below the surface. We also get a look at one of the most iconic villains in the DC universe and that would be Black Manta! He looks amazing and I think he will be a formidable foe that Aquaman will have to face in this movie.
Aquaman will be released this year on December 21st and what do you think about this trailer? Do you think this is going to be a great movie or will you just give it a pass? Let us know if you are going to see this film.
