Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom sees Nicole Kidman and a smidge of Amber Heard
At CinemaCon today, Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom debuted a new trailer
Aux News Nicole Kidman
Our superhero-obsessed world has made the world believe a Guardians And The Galaxy movie can be a hit. Perhaps even more surprisingly, it made Aquaman the highest-grossing DC movie ever, and it’s a fact that director James Wan and star Jason Momoa reiterated in their respective video introductions to the theater groups at CinemaCon. Grossing more than a billion dollars, those same theater groups are waiting for the sequel, and DC Studios exec Peter Safran gave them a big gulp of Aquaman with a new trailer.
Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom James Wan describes it as a “bromance” between brothers Aquaman and Orm, the Ocean Master. Momoa, Patrick Wilson, and Yayah Abdul-Mateen are all back, but Aquaman must team with his brother, who refuses to call him brother, in order to take Black Manta out again. Manta, for his part, found a new staff that gives him green-energy power that allows him to destroy the surface world. Obviously, Aquaman’s going to have to stop him, but first he’s going to have to get his brother on board.
The movie looks and feels a lot like the first movie, yet there’s a lot more confidence behind the visuals. There are fewer murky, underwater shots and more of the laser light spectacular that makes for a more energetic trailer.
He’s got other problems, too. Manta wants to destroy everything in Aquaman’s life, which presumably includes Aquaman’s newborn. But the trailer itself is more colorful and expansive than the first movie, resembling the bioluminescence of Avatar: The Way Of Water. Plus, Nicole Kidman drives a laser-beam shooting seahorse, and Amber Heard appears in two or three shots. We’re certain everyone will be cool with that.
Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom swims into theaters on December 20.

“Our superhero-obsessed world has made the world in a world with a world from the world do the world…”
Manta’s coming for Aquaman’s kid…(SPOILERS FOR A 45-YEAR-OLD COMIC)Man, do I hope they not follow the comics on that one.
Generally when people put in a spoiler warning, there’s an actual spoiler.
Well, generally, when people write an article about a movie trailer, they’ll put in the movie trailer. But here we all are.
Fair. I just wasn’t about to go looking up 45 years worth of Aquaman stories, so I was in the rare position of actually wanting the spoiler.
No way. Plus, didn’t that get retconned out of continuity? Erased by the New 52?
I’m sorry Amber Heard, but popular culture demands that I think of soiled sheets when I hear your name.
Boy that’s funny because I think of misogyny and rape culture working to silence a victim of abuse
Heard that!
A British High Court judge ruled this claim wasn’t true so you can move on now.
Nope, the British High Court just ruled that Johnny Depp is an abusive man. No rule about pooping in bed. Which obviously no british had any problem with.
They did both.https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/judge-in-johnny-depp-amber-heard-case-rules-on-poo-in-bed-claims/news-story/e817492c27a168e732cf3a65364ae0e1
Well the British are backwards, their court rulings are meaningless here and they still have a King or Queen, plus we fought a war of independence against them. What this means in the end is that Amber Heard really is a disgusting, nasty, bed pooper. Oh and also she admitted to it, per a sworn witness in an American court of law. Ipso facto, she is a nasty piece of white trash.
Here, for anyone who’s interested:
Now, the important question: Does it have just as many scenes people being interrupted by an explosion mid-conversation?
To be clear, this is NOT the trailer that was shown at CinemaCon, this is a (well done) fan made trailer.
Oof, that’s a big mistake on my part. Sorry Schimkowitz! And thanks for pointing it out.
That explains why King Shark was in it at the end.
Seriously, fuck Screen Culture. Imagine basing your entire career on just lying to people. [insert obligatory joke about Republicans]
That thumbnail is hilarious.
Thanks for doing the work that Matt Chumpkowitz couldn’t figure out how to do. Ya know, an actual link for the trailer.
“a Guardians And The Galaxy movie can be a hit.”
What is “Guardians And The Galaxy”?
It’s like Chico and The Man.
Chico of the Man was a totally different show.
It’s a show about four successful women navigating love, sex and friendship in Space New York.
Also starring Bradley Cooper (in one episode, where he’s honestly kind of raccoon-levels of gross)
Aquaman 2: Electric Eelaroo
I am pretty sure it is Guardians of the Galaxy. Not and the Galaxy.The more you know.
a smidge of Amber HeardDo you see her, though?
That scene in the trailer for Aquaman 2 when Mera shits in Aquaman’s bed was just nasty, totally uncalled for.
Why would we be cool with a real-life abuser being featured as a star on a movie aimed at children? Sounds like your moral compass is broken, buddy.
