In the new trailer, a series of actions starts with Jason’s voiceover stating that Aquaman has swapped his aquatic fighting skills for fatherhood.
Nonetheless, the half-human, half-Atlantean, whose real name is Arthur Curry, will seemingly have to drop his daddy duty as he takes on the role of King of Atlantis, battling against a new set of villains.
Nicole Kidman will reprise her role of Atlanna, Arthur’s mother and the former queen of Atlantis.

James Wan, Aquaman’s director, hasreportedlybeen playing down allegations that Amber’s role was significantly reduced.
He toldEntertainment Weekly: “I always pitched this to everyone from the get-go.
“The first Aquaman was Arthur and Mera’s journey.
“The second movie was always going to be Arthur and Orm.”
James further explained: “So, the first was a romance action-adventure movie, the second one is a bromance action-adventure movie.”

Last month saw the production of Aquaman 2 at the center of more drama after Amber’s therapy documents were leaked in a bombshellReddit-induced exposé.
Fans of the Jack Sparrow character had paid court feesfor therelease of documentsfrom Amber’s therapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes.
In original notes written on a legal pad, the raw writing outlined an adverse film set for Aquaman, in which an allegedly drunk Jason Momoa, who plays the protagonist Aquaman, purposely put on clothes in the same style as Johnny.
The therapist’s scribbles also described Jason pushing bosses to have Amber fired from her role as Mera in the DC movie.
The notes read: “Jason said he wanted me fired.
“Jason drunk — late on set. Dressing like Johnny. Has all the rings too.”
Insiders believe that “at least” two scenes featuring Heard were removed from the sequel: an action sequence and a love scene with Momoa
Meanwhile, as Amber has also declined to comment, a source close to the actress reportedly corroborated that the notes did refer to the Aquaman 2 set and that they did echo a session from December 2021.

According to the notes, Amber was nearly shunned on set as a result of her high-profile legal fight with Johnny.
Dawn’s notes read: “He raised his voice @ me — ‘I can’t even post about Aquaman’ — made it like it was my fault – I said ‘I’m sorry.’
“Nobody could take selfies with me on set given blackout.”
Director James Wan argued that the choice to remove Amber from the trailer was a creative one, as the sequel was a “bromance” film
Amidst the release of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ planned for December 20, 2023, many people came to Amber’s defense.
“So because Amber Heard lost a defamation suit against someone who didn’t deny abusing her, but just had a problem with that information being made public, she’s now being erased from a film she’s has a key role in,” another person chimed in.
DC fans didn’t understand the logic of removing Mera from the trailer
