Aquaman: First Look At Black Manta And His Iconic Helmet

Hey, guess what? An Aquaman movie is coming out later this year, and we still know a surprisingly little amount of information regarding it. In fact, we’ve been so devoid of any real information, I completely forgot that Black Manta was in it. If you’re in the same boat, then that’s about to change!

EW has released a new photo, and in it, we get our first look at actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who will be playing David Kane, who takes on the name Black Manta. Kane himself is a sea pirate and mercenary who actually doesn’t have any powers, but utilizes his iconic suit to help compensate for that. I guess you can say he’s something of an Iron Man of DC villains.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE FIRST PHOTO HERE!

“He’s part mercenary but full-time pirate who in his suit will look like some crazy alien from outer space,” director James Wan told the outlet. Interestingly enough, despite the fact that Black Manta is a huge villain in the Aquaman canon, he won’t be the head baddie this time around — he just kind of made his way into the story:

“Black Manta is a really interesting character who is somehow factored into this story but our main story is about [Jason Momoa’s Aquaman] and [Patrick Wilson’s King Orm].”
