The first Suicide Squad movie opted to feature all-new characters, but for Suicide Squad 2, why not kill two birds with one stone by including at least one familiar faces on the team and giving Black Manta an opportunity to shine away from Arthur Curry?
Black Manta has only become affiliated with the Suicide Squad in recent years, but with his skill sets, both on the surface and underwater, it’s easy to see why he was recruited.
This likely means that Black Manta will be back for Aquaman 2, but why stop there?
Although Yahya Abdul-Mateen’s Black Manta is serving as a supporting antagonist as Aquaman, producer Peter Safran assures fans this is just the beginning of the character’s big screen journey.
