James Wan, director of the Aquaman film had this to say about Black Manta.

“He’s part mercenary but full-time pirate who in his suit will look like some crazy alien from outer space,” Wan teases.

“Black Manta is a really interesting character who is somehow factored into this story but our main story is about Jason and Patrick,”

No other details are confirmed at this time so stay tuned for updates.

The live-action Aquaman film will premiere in theaters on December 21.
