Yahya Abdul-Mateen II IS Black Manta

[Silvermoth]

Yeah. Actually if there's only one good thing to come out of this it's that we might have just heard what his Manta voice is going to be like. Sounds chilling if that's what he's going for

 

[Hypestyle]

There needs to be a cool trailer with Black Manta as part of it. Don't kill him in the end. Let him continue.

Just seeing this for the first time.
Oh my god

If the voice is similar to that I’d honestly be happy.

 

[MbJ]

I'm hoping the action scenes with Manta are done well. He could be a real beast.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah. One thing dc tends to do better than marvel mostly is their villains

 

[Iceman]

Nice voice. Is that his real outfit too? t:

 

[RockSP]

 

[The Shape]

Nice.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

That picture begs so many question no about his role in the film.

 

[The Guard]

Pretty sure that's his father's version of the equipment. There's a similar scene in one of Johns' earlier runs.

 

[Silvermoth]

Cannot wait to see him in action! Looks very hamletesque.

And the headpiece is just the right blend of functional and classic comic book look

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I think Guard might be onto something. Think of Evans' costumes in TFA. They gave us a comic book look but then had him in a modernized take. My gut says that will not be his actual worn villain suit/helmet.

 

[Sawyer]

hnnngh

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Sawyer is getting his Yahya's out.

Even I feel ashamed about that one.

A bomb just went off in my head because the helmet for Black Manta looks like a perfect mixture of realism and comic.

Collider set report - ‘Aquaman': Yahya Abdul-Mateen II on Why Black Manta Is After Aquaman and Working with Geoff Johns

 

[daddydivine]

Yeah. One thing dc tends to do better than marvel mostly is their villains

There hasn't been a memorable DC villain since Nolan.

 

[batman44]

From the set reports Black Manta sounds as if he could be a scene stealer.

 

[The Guard]

With this actor? Oh yeah.

 

[Elysium94]

There hasn't been a memorable DC villain since Nolan.

Really?

Are you sure about that?

 

[Silvermoth]

I think he might have been trolling a bit

 

[Greenlite]

Even Lex's plan is way more interesting than most CBM villains esp in the ultimate cut. But that's for another discussion

 

[StarLord]

 

[Elysium94]

Somebody call the Predators.

Looks like this pirate's been stealing some of their stuff too.

In all seriousness, I love the look he's got in this movie. Didn't think they'd actually go for the comic helmet, but they did.

And it's awesome.
