The first trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will (finally) be released online tomorrow, and following a brief - though much-discussed - teaser earlier this week, we have some new promo stills from James Wan's DC Comics sequel.

These images give us a first look at Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) joining forces with his half-brother Orm, aka Ocean Master (Patrick Wilson). These two were bitter enemies in the first film, but will become reluctant allies to face-off against a common threat.

"They're forced to work together, but they have no interest in being together," says producer and DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran. "There is a humor in this movie that is far greater than even existed in the first."

We also have another glimpse of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's villainous Black Manta, who is now a lot more powerful thanks to a Black Trident, which gives him the ability to command an ancient evil.

Check out the new stills at the link below.

"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, now 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."
