In terms of wider plot, the film is set to see Aquaman take on not just Wilson’s Orm, but also Yahya Abdul-Mateen’s Black Manta.
With a greater focus on Atlantean culture than his team-up appearance, Aquaman was always going to be something of a retroactive origin story, and this latest casting confirms that we’ll indeed be delving in the childhood of Arthur Curry.
Even without many concrete details, however, expectations are high for Aquaman.
Beyond that, though, not much is known, although with an ever-growing cast of Atlanteans it’s sure to deal heavily with the underwater city.
