Fans expecting Black Manta to lead the charge of the bad guys may be disappointed, but Abdul-Mateen’s costume tease should only get them more excited to see the real thing.
Nonetheless, Aquaman star Jason Momoa recently confirmed that Ocean Master, not Black Manta, would be the movie’s main antagonist.
Abdul-Mateen gets his first big-budget comic book role in 2018’s Aquaman as Black Manta, the first time an actor will portray the villain in a live-action setting.
It’s known that Black Manta will be one of the main villains in Aquaman, but the character’s physical appearance has yet to be revealed.
