Aquaman 2: Will Black Manta Kill Aquaman’s Son, ‘Aquababy,’ in the Movie?

Fans are worried that Black Manta will kill Aquaman’s son, “Aquababy,” in the upcoming Aquaman 2. With the comics setting a concerning precedent, fans wonder if the baby will die at the hands of Aquaman’s arch nemesis, Black Manta, in The Lost Kingdom. Here’s all you need to know.

While fans have been worried about the plot of Aquaman 2 after finding out the reported results of its test screenings, the addition of Aquababy has been widely appreciated. It raises the cuteness quotient of the film and allows it to have a light-hearted tone to accompany all the hardcore action.

However, after knowing what happened in the comics, many fans are worried that the film could get much darker as the story goes on. Since Black Manta was shown to be going after Arthur Curry’s family and seemingly killed his father, Thomas Curry, fans are concerned that Manta might also kill little Arthur Curry Jr.

With that said, it’s worth noting that DC movies have been maintaining a lighter tone since Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Therefore, it’s highly likely that the movie won’t take the route of Black Manta murdering Aquaman’s son. After all, it is said to be a family movie.

Did Black Manta really kill Aquaman’s son in the comics?

Yes, Black Manta murdered Aquababy in the comics and totally changed the Aquaman storyline.

In 1977, readers of Aquaman comics experienced the harrowing “Aquaman: Death of a Prince” story. In it, Black Manta went too far as he kidnapped Aquababy and made the infant drown by placing him in a globe that would fill with air. Fortunately, we’re unlikely to see something like that make its way to the big screen when Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom arrives on December 20, 2023.
