The first teaser poster for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is now revealed thanks to a watchful Twitter user.
Jason Mamoa’s upcoming sequel is the last DC Studios release of the year, and it now the only project in the company’s slate to have not begun marketing.
While not much information is revealed about the last DCU movie of the year, and the final one before James Gunn’s big reboot, there have been rumors that the movie isn’t a good one.
Industry insiders claim that they’ve heard The Lost Kingdom could “potentially [be] one of the worst DCEU movies.”
Now, it looks like Cinema Con will be bringing a fresh new poster, at the very least, to the upcoming event.
New Poster for Lost Kingdom Revealed
The first teaser poster for Jason Mamoa’s upcoming film, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, has been spotted on the floor at CinemaCon ahead of the Las Vegas convention’s official start on Monday, April 24.
Thanks to Twitter user @Alfiemoviehub, fans can take a peek at the new poster—which is about as exciting as a cracked iceberg can be.
The tease may actually resemble some concept art revealed by director James Wan last year, which teased a terrifying monster hidden behind an iceberg.
Aquaman and the Cracked Iceberg
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that the poster isn’t very exciting—and probably wasn’t the best choice given the rumors regarding The Lost Kingdom’s quality.
In fact, the whispers even claimed that Jason Momoa will be taking on a new role in James Gunn’s upcoming DCU reboot, a choice fueled by the alledged abysmal quality of his Aquaman sequel.
As for the cracked iceberg, it’s connection to the previous concept art is likely no coincidence. It is also probably connected to a wider environmental message the movie is trying to tell.
Previously, Momoa confirmed that the film’s conflict involves something bad about to happen to this Earth, “and it’s not because of aliens.” It seems global warming, and the changing climate conditions will factor heavily into whatever Aurthur Curry will be dealing with in his sequel.
Fingers crossed that Aquaman can get his message out there to the world without pairing it alongside a terrible movie.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom releases on December 20 later this year.
