According to reports out of CinemaCon, the trailer and footage focuses on the clash between Momoa's Aquaman and Patrick Wilson's Ocean Master. The footage includes shots of Atlantis cityscapes and armored seahorses, plus a gladiator-like coliseum. In this coliseum, Ocean Master is seen hyping up a crowd and rallying them against Aquaman, who will challenge his brother for the throne. Further, Momoa also displays his physicality as Aquaman, wielding a quindent and lifting a submarine out of the water.
The footage additionally features Ocean Master delivering the line, "The war is coming to the surface and I am bringing the wrath of the seven seas with me!" teasing the conflict confirmed in the Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), which is described as being extremely close to the character's comic book appearance.
Those who viewed the Aquaman teaser at CinemaCon also offered their own reactions to it, with many praising what they saw. Despite the footage having unfinished visual effects, it was described by many as "epic," teasing a much bigger movie than any DC Films has delivered in the past. Certainly, with the amount of time Aquaman is expected to spend underwater, it's sure to be much different than any other superhero movie fans have seen.
Based on the footage description and reactions out of CinemaCon, it seems DC Films is looking to come back after Justice League with an exceptionally ambitious undertaking. Hopefully, Wan's take on Aquaman delivers a hit akin to Jenkins' Wonder Woman. Certainly, it sounds like Aquaman has potential to be a success, but those unable to attend CinemaCon won't get to see any footage until the trailer is officially released. Since Wan screened a teaser at CinemaCon, perhaps an official trailer will be ready soon.
