Yahya Abdul-Mateen II IS Black Manta

[Sawyer]

We've seen Mera's look for this film and can probably approximate what Aquaman will look like. I'd like to see Manta and Orm reveals at SDCC.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah I think that's possible

 

[Silvermoth]

Sounds like Yahya is having the time of his life in Sydney

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (David Hyde aka BLACK MANTA), Willem DaFoe (NUIDIS VULKO) e Ludi Lin (MURK). ???????????? #AQUAMAN

 

[Silvermoth]

Ha. Are they actually making a movie or just watching sports games!

Actually now I think about it, maybe that's an interesting inspiration. Team Orm versus team Aquaman. Lots of rivalry and pageantry

 

[Silvermoth]

Yahya tweeted that a Black Manta reveal is due tomorrow! Might be big, might be small but hold onto your butts!

 

[Boom]

I'm going to be super bummed when it ends up being a troll job.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Nice; excited to see how he looks. I have my doubts about how good a faithful adaptation of Manta's costume could look, but maybe they managed to pull it off.

 

[OutOfBoose]

I hope it's not some kind of a joke.

 

[Guts]

I think he is trolling.

 

[Boom]

Damnit.

Oh well. Maybe a year and a half is too early for a villain reveal.

 

[Guts]

Wan is really going low budget with the costume.

You think the knife is the weapon to look out for. But man... That plastic spatula.

This is gold.

 

[Mindreaper21]

That was insanely quick.

 

[Silvermoth]

Damn it. Truly a member of the injustice league.

I wonder how they will explain his name anyway? Would they just use his normal name or maybe Manta is an acronym for the company he runs or ship he operates. Just please don't call him black manta

 

[nyyarod]

he's a funny guy. can't wait to see him on the press tour.

 

[Tg11]

I hope we get to see him in the suit

 

[RockSP]

So he's playing the evil Forbush Man. That marvel/dc crossover came quicker than I expected!

 

[Rorschach2012]

Holy **** his Black Manta voice is unbelievably awesome. I trust James Wan's casting on this movie.

I can't wait for this one.

Just Gold.

I just hope his fight scene with Aquaman is epic...that being the Manta/Arthur fight scene
