Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom features a star-studded cast led by DC star Jason Momoa.

Directed by James Wan, Aquaman 2 is poised to be the send-off for the current DCEU, bringing together Momoa’s titular hero and the Kingdom of Atlantis for one final adventure.

Jason Momoa is set to return as Arthur Curry (aka Aquaman) for, presumably, one last time in the upcoming DC sequel.

At the end of the first film, Arthur becomes king of Atlantis and protector of the seas, and this responsibility is expected to be pushed to the forefront in Aquaman 2.

Conversations surrounding Momoa’s time as Aquaman have made headlines amid the impending DC reboot. It is unknown if the actor’s iteration will carry over into the new DCU, but Momoa already casted doubt on a potential third movie.

Despite the controversies she faced with her husband Johnny Depp and fan backlash, Amber Heard is slated to return as Mera in Aquaman 2.

In August 2022, The Wrap reported that Heard will only have “20 minutes” of screen time in the sequel, indicating that she has a minor role. During the actress’ legal battle, it was revealed that Mera is pregnant in the movie, thus proving her reduced involement.

After serving as the main villain in the first movie, Patrick Wilson’s Orm Marius will return in Aquaman 2.

Lundgren is known for Rocky IVMasters of the Universe, and The Expendables.

5.) Yahya Abdul-Mateen II – David Kane / Black Manta

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will also come back as David Kane aka Black Manta. Aquaman‘s post-credits scene managed to set up Black Manta’s bigger role in the sequel, meaning that he has a bone to pick with Jason Momoa’s titular hero.

Alongside Atlantean upgrades and his new partnership with Stephen Shin, Black Manta is much more dangerous in Aquaman 2.

Abdul-Mateen II is set to star as Simon Williams in Marvel Studios’ Wonder Man series. The actor is also known for his roles in CandymanBlack Mirror, and HBO”s Watchmen series.

Park is known for his role as the MCU’s Jimmy Woo. The actor’s other credits include The InterviewAlways Be My Maybe, and Fresh of the Boat.

Ben Affleck has filmed scenes for his return as Bruce Wayne in Aquaman 2however, it’s uncertain if Affleck’s scenes will remain or get cut.

In July 2022, it was actually lead star Jason Momoa who spoiled Affleck’s DC comeback in the sequel, noting how much he “[loves] that guy” and how they had “too much fun” on set.

It remains to be seen how the sequel will explain Ben Affleck’s appearance, especially after how The Flash replaced the character with George Clooney’s Bruce Wayne in a different universe.
