After making four appearances as Arthur Curry (not counting photographs) in the DCEU, Jason Momoa will reunite with Aquaman director James Wan for what will almost certainly be his final time playing the King of Atlantis in upcoming sequel, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Now, Empire has debuted a new look at the Game of Thrones alum in his updated costume via the mag's latest covers.
The news-stand version sees Aquaman striking a pose after plunging his trident (surely he's used the wrong end there?) into the ice, while the subscriber-only cover features an ice sculpture of the hero, created by Justin Metz.
The trades recently confirmed ongoing rumors that Momoa will be leaving Aquaman behind to play a completely different character in James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DCU, Lobo. Though there's been no official announcement, Warner Bros. is expected to make the news official before the end of the year.
"Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.
All returning to the roles they originated, Jason Momoa plays Arthur Curry/Aquaman, no, after w balancing his duties as both the King of Atlantis and a new father; Patrick Wilson is Orm, Aquaman’s half-brother and his nemesis, who must now step into a new role as his brother’s reluctant ally; Amber Heard is Mera, Atlantis’ Queen and mother of the heir to the throne; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is Black Manta, committed more than ever to avenge his father’s death by destroying Aquaman, his family and Atlantis; and Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, a fierce leader and mother with the heart of a warrior. Also reprising their roles are Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus and Randall Park as Dr. Stephen Shin."
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is set to swim into theaters on December 20.
