Remember how the first Aquaman came out and was a colossal success? It really seemed like everything was finally on track for the character after years of jokes and abuse. Then tragedy…or well…insanity struck. The sequel was plagued with reshoots, scheduling conflicts, and an ever-changing landscape of the Dceu. Plus there’s the Amber Heard of it all, which has grown increasingly complicated. Today on DC Revisited, we’re getting into it all, as we dive into James Wan’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Before the first Aquaman had found massive success, Warner Bros was already hard at work on developing a sequel. Jason Momoa himself pitched a story to the studio, wanting to be more involved in the sequel’s development. This makes sense as Momoa really was the face of Aquaman and had shifted the perception of the character from a blonde man in tights...

Despite seeming to take small steps forward with both The Flash and Blue Beetle earlier this year, the DC Extended Cinematic Universe (Dcecu) suffers a calamitous setback with the arrival of the atrocious sequel to 2018’s Aquaman – Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
The bewildering and often aimless story within Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is concentrated primarily on the exploits of David Kane as he searches for the means to defeat Aquaman in the most brutal and destructive way possible. This forces Aquaman to make peace with his brother, Orm (Patrick Wilson), to have even a remote chance at stopping Black Manta before he causes catastrophic ecological destruction to the planet.
While the first Aquaman film tread water between mediocre and awful, the sequel dives deeper into the morass of convoluted plot tangents and overblown villains that have plagued the Dcecu since inception. Working with a story penned by himself,...

The end of an era is upon us. After 10 years, the Dceu as we knew it is coming to an end with the release of "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom." What started with Zack Snyder and "Man of Steel" is concluding with Jason Momoa's second solo turn as Arthur Curry in order to make way for the forthcoming DC Universe reboot, which is being headed up by James Gunn and Peter Safran. But does that mean it all ends as soon as the credits roll? Or does director James Wan have a little something extra for us?
Credits scenes have been very present in the Dceu, and even though there aren't any more movies to set up in this version of the universe, that doesn't mean a credits scene of some kind can't help put a button on the whole thing. So, can you leave as soon as the credits begin?...

"Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" is arriving in December, bringing Jason Momoa back as Arthur Curry. It's been a full five years since the first "Aquaman" became the biggest DC movie ever. Now, James Wan is back behind the camera for another massive, globe-trotting adventure. Much has been made thus far of Amber Heard's Mera, who will be reprising her role in the sequel, albeit in a more limited capacity. She won't be a main character this time around. As for why that is? Wan has addressed it head-on.
In the December issue of Empire Magazine, the filmmaker spoke about the long-awaited "Aquaman" sequel and, specifically, touched on the Mera situation. During her highly public court case with her ex-husband Johnny Depp, Heard claimed her role in the sequel was a "pared-down version" of what she was originally pitched, and that the studio "didn't want to include her" following the divorce.

Updated, 9:21 a.m.: Warner Bros on Thursday unveiled the first full-length trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the very long awaited sequel to the subaquatic James Wan superhero pic which remains one of DC’s biggest successes.

He’s now got a job, as well, looking after a kingdom of half a billion as King of Atlantis. But not everything comes easily for him in the sequel, as Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) returns in hopes of taking him out.

The actor and Hawaiian native has been active on his personal Instagram account this week, providing information about the catastrophic fires and directing fans to organizations that are helping the impacted communities. In a recent post, he encouraged fans to avoid traveling to the island until disaster relief efforts have stabilized.

Set in the early 1900s in the Wild West, The Last Manhunt tells the true story of Willie Boy. He falls in love with Carlotta, a young girl from the Chemehuevi tribe, but they are forbidden from being together by Carlotta’s father. When her father is killed by an accidental gunshot, Willie Boy and Carlotta end up on the run.
Mainei Kinimaka, who plays Carlotta, recently sat down for an exclusive with uInterview founder Erik Meers to discuss what it was like working with her cousin, Aquaman‘s Jason Momoa on the film.

When you think of Jason Momoa, you probably recall his time as Khal Drogo, the frighting war lord who spoke little and murdered plenty in the first season of "Game of Thrones." Or maybe you think of Arthur Curry, the muscle-bound King of Atlantis who is due to wield his trident at some point in 2023. If you're really cool, then you probably remember his time as the wonderfully named warm hugger and badass swordmaster Duncan Idaho. But the point is this: various roles have established Momoa as an oft-shirtless, very dangerous-looking muscly guy. This is exactly why he jumped at a chance to star in "Slumberland," where he plays the imaginary friend of any kid's dream.

"You got a reckoning coming ..." in the form of a new Jason Momoa movie. No, it's not "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," and in all honesty, who even knows when that movie is coming out anymore. It was supposed to hit theaters this year, but is currently lost at sea until December 2023. However, just in time for the series finale of Momoa's three-season Apple TV+ series, "See" — which drops next week — Saban Films has released a trailer for a Momoa movie set on dry land, the upcoming Western, "The Last Manhunt," directed by and co-starring Momoa's "See" castmate, Christian Camargo.
"The Last Outlaw" is based on a true story which, according to Variety, comes from oral tradition of the Chemehuevi tribe, an indigenous people of the Great Basin region of the United States. The trailer, which you can see below, promises "a band of ruthless lawmen on the greatest manhunt in American history.
