The Plot:

While the official plot details remain shrouded in some mystery, the released synopsis offers a tantalizing glimpse:

“An ancient power was unleashed, Aquaman must forge an uneasy alliance with an unlikely ally to protect Atlantis, and the world, from irreversible devastation.”

Whispers hint at a powerful artifact known as the Black Trident, sought by a malevolent force from the depths, potentially triggering an ecological cataclysm.

After failing to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta wields the power of the mythic Black Trident to unleash an ancient and malevolent force. Hoping to end his reign of terror, Aquaman forges an unlikely alliance with his brother, Orm, the former king of Atlantis

To combat this threat, Aquaman may be forced to team up with none other than his half-brother, the vengeful Orm. Will this uneasy alliance be enough to avert disaster, or will Atlantis succumb to the rising tide of chaos?

Why does Amber Heard have so little screen time in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom?

Director James Wan has explained that Amber Heard’s reduced role in the upcoming Aquaman sequel is intentional. He wanted the focus to be on the relationship between Arthur and Orm as they team up against Black Manta. However, this doesn’t fully explain why Heard’s role has been almost absent from the movie’s trailers. We realized that Arthur and Mera got married and had a child between the first and second films, there has been little publicity featuring Heard.
