Aquaman Trailer Breakdown: 19 Things You Need To See

3. The Money Shot

Aquaman Black Manta

And here's what's arguably the coolest shot in the entire trailer, even though it doesn't feature Atlantean guards riding giant sharks. A very, very p***ed off Black Manta fires some heat beams at a structure, just barely missing Arthur, who dives clear of the epically exploding rubble.

It's a hell of an image, and at least makes it clear the movie isn't going to treat Black Manta with kid gloves and downplay his destructive abilities. Strap in.
