Fandango has released a new teaser for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom – and the stakes are higher than ever.
In the brief clip, we see Arthur Curry spending time with his newborn son, sweetly telling him that he’s “different” and “special” just like his dad. A vengeful Black Manta interrupts these sweet moments, however, destroying Arthur’s childhood home and kidnapping his son in the process.
