Sept. 11 (UPI) -- DC is giving a glimpse of the new film Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

The studio shared a teaser trailer for the movie Monday featuring Jason Momoa and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is a sequel to the 2018 film Aquaman, which is based on the DC Comics character. Momoa plays Aquaman, a half-human, half-Atlantean superhero who is capable of swimming at supersonic speeds and commanding aquatic life.

The new film follows Aquaman (Momoa) as he protects Atlantis from David Kane (Abdul-Mateen), aka Black Manta, a pirate seeking revenge for the death of his father in the first movie.

The teaser trailer shows Black Manta vow to kill Aquaman and "destroy everything he holds dear."
