Aquaman Trailer Breakdown: 19 Things You Need To See

6. Black Manta

And here's our first proper look at Black Manta, the high-tech, high-seas mercenary who has a bone or two to pick with Aquaman, presumably because he keeps blowing up his piracy escapades.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II seems extremely well cast here, and though it'd be incredibly easy for the full Black Manta suit to look laughable, it actually looks pretty damn neat.

Fingers crossed he's not a typical secondary villain who gets little development and quickly pushed to the periphery, though.
