One More ‘Aquaman’ Trailer Pushes The Comic Book Action Spectacle
All right, the lastAquamantrailer we featuredwas said to be the “final” one, but that’s only here in the United States. Our friends over in China recently got a new trailer, and it has plenty of new footage from the upcoming DC Comics superhero movie starringJason Momoa. Most of the new stuff is all of the underwater action spectacle that will helpAquamanstand out from the rest of the comic book fare. Check out the new internationalAquamantrailer below if you’re hungry for more footage.

As you can see, there are plenty of new action shots here, including some new moments from the battle between Arthur Curry and his half-brother Orm, the Ocean Master (Patrick Wilson). Plus, there are plenty more shots of the underwater chases, which feel reminiscent of the space battles fromStar Wars.
However, the underwater sequences featuring the Atlanteans continue to look terrible. There’s something completely artificial about how these characters appear under the sea, especially in close-ups when their hair must be manipulated with visual effects to look like it’s floating in the water.
Even so, there’s a lot of bright and colorful visual spectacle here. It’s vastly different from what we’ve seen in the DC Extended Universe so far. It remains to be seen if fans of what Zack Snyder brought to the table will buy into this change in tone and style, but the early buzz seems to be mostly good so far, so maybe there’s some hope that this shift will work for everyone.
For good measure, here’s a Chinese poster forAquamanlooking like your average photoshopped marketing:
