In addition to the cast members listed above, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” also features the return of Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus and Randall Park as Dr. Stephen Shin, because every single movie deserves a cast as chaotic and sprawling as this.
If you’re even remotely online, you may have heard that production on “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” has been a bit… Well, a bit troubled. Whether this has to do with the actual quality of the film or the current state of the cinematic DC Universe, which is poised for a full-blown reboot, remains to be seen. All I know is that James Wan is the kind of generational talent who can make “Saw,” “Insidious,” “The Conjuring,” “Furious 7” and “Aquaman.” You won’t catch anyone at /Film betting against him.
Here’s the official synopsis for the film:
Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.
“Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” hits theaters on December 20, 2023.
