Writer "Aquamena" David Leslie Johnson revealed some important details about the plot of the second film. In response to the question specified in Twitter, in which direction the story will develop and with what comics the viewers should be obtained before watching the film, the author replied:
Hmm ... a good question. We do not take some specific story of comics to adapt it. But if you want to know what we strive for, then read any history of the silver century with the participation of black manta.
Hmm ... Good Question. We're Not Taking Any One Particular Comic Book Story and Adapting It, But If you Want to Know The Vibe We're Going for, Pick Up Pretty Much Any Silver Age Story Featuring Black Manta.

Apparently, the hero of Yakhi Abdul-Matin II was not in vain, so much time in the scene after the titles of the first film. In Sicle, his character will play an important role. Villain Black Manta in DC comics is a long-standing enemy of aquamena. Both dream of destroying each other in the best traditions of blood revenge. During one of the battles of Aquament and Black Manta dies from a heart attack Father of Aquamena. Then, Aquamen kills the father of black manta, mistakenly, confusing it with Mantha. Finally, Manta kills Arthur Curry Jr., Son Aquamena. Now Arthur Curry / Aquamen is obsessed with a desire to act.
Also, Black Manta is an African American and began to fight aquamen in order to gain control over Atlantis, which he would give black people to compensate for all oppression on land, they would get power over the ocean.
Premiere of "Aquamena 2" is scheduled for December 15, 2022
