MANTA!
Guy from ScreenRant also spoke with Wan recently.

Once they recast Momoa a new waifu since Heard and her divorce is a complete clusterfuck.
Samoan vs Black
Who wins?
Two black supervillans in 2018 damn
I love manta, but this sucks.
This is what i was afraid of, Johns putting his dirty hands and pushing his pet characters. Fuck i really wanted horror Aquaman and a lot of lovecraft stuff
They're going to fuck him up. So I can't be excited about one of my favorite villains getting a live action debut
>I love Manta but fuck Johns for pushing him
You just want to cry. Having Manta doesn't mean there won't be any Lovecraft stuff.
Since Mamoa's Aquaman is based on Peter David's, I hope they don't make Manta from his run as well.
Movies? No clue. Comics? Soon my child, soon
I always like it when they use Aquababy as a catalyst for Arthur to get more serious
Aquaman only has worthwhile villains, user.
Manta and Orm.
I hope they do Manta Justice. I hope they don't make him white.
He better have the big stupid helmet and not some tacticool shit.
Hopefully he'll be better than Lex Zuckerberg and Damaged Joker.
I trust in Johns.
Which black actor will play him?
Marvel have all the known young black actors on lock
Hopefully he gets one of his better costumes that dont make him look like a funko pop toy
Idris Elba
Hope this means Johns fixed the whole stupid Orm as Loki 2.0 shit.
Marvel has Idris Elba though
So who should pla6 Manta?
>Jai White
>Snipes
Would be my two top choices.
Thor 3 probably is his last movie.
NO ORHM
NO THRONE OF ATLANTIS ADAPTATION
FUCK YEAH
>two
?
It is, apparently he hates the shit out if marvel and wants to jump ship as fast as possible. He's a good actor and is my first pick for Manta anyway
Who can play him
Needs to be calculating calm but bloodthirsty
What a surprise.
Black panther's villain is black
Taye Diggs lets go
Ice cube or Ice T tbhfam
He hates marvel cause he hates working on comics stuff, he wants off that ride.
A-A-A-A-A-A-A-ATHURRR
Since Aquaman is being played by Jason "Dudebro" Momoa, why not use Michael K. Williams?
>scar on his face
I can dig it.
Was thinking the same thing.
Geoff Johns in blackface
>GUESS WHOOOO
>It's you
>IT'S MEEEEEEEEEEE
He has the same scar as Manta
Should be djimon hounsou
He doesn't hate Marvel this meme needs to end
He was just rapping about Thor on a song that came out last year you know after this meme started
The Rock!
Eddie Murphy
Cuba Gooding Jr.
Elba would knock this out
Snipes would be cool too.
chiwetel ejiofor would have been fucking perfect too, but Marvel already got him.
>Aquaman isn't an Aryan Nazi porn poster boy any longer
Why bother with Black Manta then, because now it's just gang violence and blacks don't properly taking care of their community.
Lorenz Tate! Aquaman vs motherfucking O-Dog!
I would of love to see the tumblr butt hurt from seeing ubermench Aquaman curbstomp Black Manta
John Boyega
I always liked Aquababy being alive.
>Black villain
racism
>Autistic villain
ableism
if only BM was female, he'd be a jesus figure for the whiny butthurt
Too goofy imo. I like him but I can't see him as a villain he's too pure.
Because if there's one thing Momoa's version of Aquaman needs, it's to get more serious.
I can see this happening near the end for some reason, but the rest of the movie being just human manta
then he gets a fucking brutal death
So it should be a fat racist redneck called White Wale instead?
>$0.02 have been deposited in your account
>Love, Disney
Can't they do that right now? It's still like that in the comics.
Man, whatever happened to Taye Diggs? Dude was everywhere a few years ago.
No Aquamans fighting America
And Manta is meeting with a guy called the Fisher King
Abnett is on the comic dumb fuck, not the movie
Prove me wrong.
he looks like a starving african, do you have a better pic?
He'd be perfect
>Can't they do that right now? It's still like that in the comics
they've half given up on DC, and casuals never cared about Aquaman
>scar
IM
INNNNN
>Lex Zuckerberg
>Damaged Joker
>Enchantress Miranda
WB's track record doesn't inspire much confidence. I'm scared for my boys Manta and Eobard.
So I shouldnt assume the guy who linked to the OP (which is about the film) with a picture of Aquababy asking "When?" wasn't talking about the movie?
Ok sure. I'm the dumb fuck. Alright.
Well fucking DUH. He's only got like two villains OP.
So what do you think the tweeest is going to be?
WB obviously doesn't want to play the characters straight.
Lex was spastic and quirky.
Joker was meted out gangster HONKA HONKA
So what about Manta? Maybe he'll be like a white imperialist. Uncle Ruckus type shit. Maybe a Nazi?
Or how about an extreme environmentalist who sexually attracted to fish. Yeah, maybe he's motivated by jealousy about how Aquaman can talk to fish.
...
Dude who defended OJ in American Crime Story
Courtney B. Vance?? Great actor but he's already 56, bro, i'm sure WB wants someone younger.
Joker acted exactly like Joker.
Was Ledger your first introduction to Batman or something?
Everyone will just complain about it being too edgy if they do it.
It's simple.
He'll be Atlantean too
...He's like, 60,
I don't think Omar would be good either because hes a shortass
>We want the HBO audience
>So it should be a fat racist redneck called White Wale instead?
He's a fat dude and he's the real reason the whales are dying.
Because he's EATING THEM ALL.
But Aquaman doesn't care because whales are mammal and he got no control over them in the first place.
Should go a NZ direction and get a maori actor like this guy
en.wikipedia.org
All of his pics make him look like too nice a guy but he also played pic related in Training Day
Keith David as a grizzled Manta at the end of his tether
>already has a scar
perfect
>lovecraftian horror aquaman
Thank God. I thought he chickened out.
Based Rabbit.
True, if they actually killed him off like in the comics, but, alternatively, going the Justice League cartoon route and having Aquaman hack his own arm off to save his son would permanently cement Aquaman as a badass.
What could possibly go wrong?
Loved Joker though, Lex was shit
Yes. 1000x yes. Hed be perfect.
The concept for this modern Luthor was interesting but wasn't pulled off right thanks to WB's incompetence
Joker was great if he would have gotten more minutes he'd probably be considered on par with Ledger to the normies
FUCK YES!!!!!!!!
>Joker was great
No.
For once I'm happy with studio-mandated cuts.
How the fuck is it WBs fault that Snyder thought Eisenburg would be a good lex?
Probably by hiring Snyder in the first place.
Idris Elba or bust.
>Black Manta as main villain
Now I'm really hyped for this movie
Also, can anybody recommend some Black Manta stories?
OH! You know who'd be fucking amazing for it?
Christopher Judge.
Cuba Gooding Jr.
Dude has been making a comeback lately even if he's a little old.
Okay man that's your opinion, I for one enjoyed every minute he was in and hope for a Joker Cut
What said
I think it's a bad move to have the black guy as the main villain of a popular comic book film. Black people have been demonized enough in the media since the BLM started.
Go away.
They've just announced Shocker will be played by a black guy, so how pissed will you be if they cast a white dude as Manta?
