The Warner Bros. panel for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom at this year’s CinemaCon has revealed that the film will profoundly feature the origin story of Black Manta. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will reprise his role as David Kane/Black Manta from the previous movie. While the last film featured Manta as a secondary adversary, this time, the character will return more powerful and prepared to fight the new Atlantean king.
