š„Aquaman & the Lost Kingdom Cast & Character Guideš„
0Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom features a large cast of returning and new characters. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom's ending rounded off Arthur Curry's DCEU journey before 2024 ushers in James Gunn's DCU slate of movies and shows. The film follows Arthur Curry's new roles as both a father and King of the Seven Seas, all while dealing with Black Manta's attempts to destroy his life and loved ones in order to avenge the villain's father.
In Aquaman, Arthur Curry finally embraced his destiny as DC's King of Atlantis, defeating his half-brother Orm/Ocean Master, who sought to take over the Seven Kingdoms and wage war on the surface world. By the end of Aquaman 2's Easter egg-infused journey, Arthur reclaims his stake as King of Atlantis by forging an alliance with his former enemy Ocean Master to defeat Black Manta and the Lost Kingdom of Necrus. As such, the cast of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was of utmost importance to the movie, while also being subject to some uncertainty due to behind-the-scenes franchise changes.
Prior to his multiple appearances in the DC Universe as Aquaman, Jason Momoa is known for his iconic role as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones as well as Ducan Idaho in Denis Villeneuve's Dune. He was also notably the primary villain in Fast X, Dante Reyes, opposite Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto. After Aquaman 2, Momoa could continue in James Gunn's DCU only as a different character, long rumored to be DC Comics' iconic bounty hunter Lobo.
