Continuing from the first story of the Aquaman film (2018), audiences will once again focus on the figure of Arthur Curry or Aquaman who becomes the main character. In this sequel, Arthur becomes a father and also becomes the king of Atlantis to replace his throne.

Arthur will face the same enemy as in the first film, namely Black Manta. However, after years, Black Manta has matured and is more prepared to carry out evil actions to avenge his father's death. The threat of Black Manta is now stronger thanks to the ancient power of Black Tirend, which has powerful magical abilities.

The presence of Black Manta poses a serious threat to Atlantis, forcing Arthur to cooperate with his brother King Orm, who has always been at odds with Arthur. He strives to form a shield to defend Atlantis. However, this option is not easy, as King Orm used to be a subordinate of Black Manta.

2. CGI Quality that Becomes a Debate

Looking at the popularity of Aquaman among viewers in 2018, this highly anticipated DC film apparently sparked some debates, Klovers! According to DC fans, Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom should have been very promising. However, it seems that there are some teaser scenes that do not have the expected CGI quality as anticipated by its fans. The low quality of the CGI teaser, which looks less promising, reminds its fans of another DC film, The Flash, which is considered to have poor CGI. This issue was apparently widely debated on Twitter. They even collectively hope that the film, which will be released at the end of 2023, will not have the same CGI quality as The Flash.

This film will feature Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry or Aquaman, who will collaborate with Patrick Wilson as King Orm, and Amber Heard will continue to play the role of Mera, despite the controversy with her ex-husband Johnny Depp that happened some time ago.

Apparently, this film will also serve as the conclusion of the DC Extended Universe superhero film series before a soft reboot is carried out. James Gunn, who was previously the director of Guardians of the Galaxy, and producer Peter Safran will be appointed as the new co-CEOs of DC studio. This development will place the future projects of the DC Universe franchise under the responsibility of James Gunn and Peter Safran.
