We see massive ships, training sequences for young Arthur Curry, Jason Momoa battling folks on a submarine (and telling Mera that he’s a “blunt instrument” who is very good at his job).
The concept art sprinkled into the montage of battle scenes shows what James Wan and his team have in store Soldiers riding on the backs of sharks.
The movie claims to reference Lord of the Rings and Romancing the Stone, and the shot that seemed out of place — but still intriguing — was Mera and Arthur walking through a desert.
