It ’s almost a guarantee for a superhero movie , or any extremely merchandisable smash hit enfranchisement these twenty-four hours : novel movie in the series , unexampled costume for the hero . Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is no exception , and we ’ve got a look at the new suit in action .

Revealed byreturning director James Wanand star Jason Momoa over the weekend , alongside the orange - amber and sea - green suit from the first movie — accommodate Aquaman ’s iconic strip costume — in the sequel Arthur will also wear a “ Stealth ” cause version of his gear , which trade the brightly - colorise original for a dingy color palette , emphasise by silver-tongued armor padding along the arm and thighs , and a much sleeker profile .

Wan describes the new suit , designed by David Leslie Johnson , as being “ Atlantean tech based on [ a ] cephalopod ’s camouflaging ability , ” and ask inspiration from a likewise strengthen suit of clothes Aquaman wear in the comedian , the downhearted disguise introduce in Neal Pozner and Craig Hamilton ’s 1986 miniseries . But one interesting design evolution away from the colour is the trunk , which is just … well , chiseled in a way that is mean to reflect Arthur ’s own body , but is really just a case of bones stealth abs on top of his actual abs .

There ’s no doubt Jason Momoa of row , has quite the build underneath all this costuming — wegot to see batch enough of thatin the first film as well — but there ’s something kind of delightfully retro and cheesy about the cobwebby amount of sculpted musculature on the new suit compared to the first film ’s costuming for Arthur . Throw in the darker colour pallette and it really does feel like a throwback to superhero picture costuming tropes from the ‘ 90s , with more than a little camp throw in for good meter . And really , if there ’s going to be a DC sequel with some retro high mallow in it ? It ’s gon na be the one that ’s follow up the moviewith Pitbull ’s take on Toto , is n’t it ?

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is presently scheduled to free in theaters in December 2022 .
