Four years after assuming the throne, Arthur has settled into his role as king of Atlantis, balancing his duties as a ruler with life on the surface alongside his wife, Mera, and their young son, Arthur Jr. Yet, the peace he’s worked hard to maintain is under threat as Black Manta, driven by an unrelenting vendetta, seeks revenge for his father’s death. Teaming up with marine biologist Stephen Shin, Manta discovers a hidden cavern in Antarctica, where he encounters the legendary Black Trident. This ancient artifact, once wielded by the dark sorcerer Kordax, grants him extraordinary powers, aiding his quest to destroy Arthur and Atlantis.

With the Black Trident’s power, Manta launches a devastating plan that threatens not only Atlantis but also the entire world. As Manta’s strength grows, Aquaman is drawn into a desperate, high-stakes battle to protect his kingdom, family, and the surface world, facing his most formidable foe in a showdown that will determine the fate of all life above and below the waves.
