We also get a first look at Aquaman’s nemesis Black Manta aka David Kane a mercenary and pirate played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

James Wan teased the character in an interview with the publication saying: “He’s part mercenary but full-time pirate who in his suit will look like some crazy alien from outer space.”

But Black Manta isn’t the only villain Aquaman will have to face off against. 

According to Wan the main story is between Aquaman and his half-brother King Orm (Patrick Wilson) who rules Atlantis.

“Black Manta is a really interesting character who is somehow factored into this story, but our main story is about Jason and Patrick,” says Wan in Entertainment Weekly.
