Later, the trailer goes on to show a few glimpses of the Black Manta who vows to cross any line to eliminate Aquaman and his empire. Notably, this comes in the backdrop of the first film where the Black Manta took a beating from Aquaman in their first encounter, and now holds a serious grudge against him.

This time around, he will be seen taking things to the next level with the mythic Black Trident and awakening an ancient and dark power.

It is then that Arthur Curry finds himself in a partnership with his brother, the former king of Atlantis. Setting aside their differences to rescue the family, save the kingdom, and prevent a global catastrophe, the two brothers will go to every possible extent as the stakes remain quite high.
