Aquaman: King of Atlantis’ First Trailer Is a Sassy, Saccharine Trip

We’ve identified for some time that James Wan was serving to to supply a new three-part Aquaman animated miniseries for HBO Max, and plenty of maybe anticipated to see one thing within the vein of Wan’s work on the Aquaman motion pictures. King of Atlantis, nevertheless, is serving up one thing very completely different, and it’s wanting moderately fabulous.

HBO Max simply dropped the primary trailer for Aquaman: King of Atlantis, giving us a have a look at its shiny, daring, and extremely kinetic tackle Aquaman (voiced by The Walking Dead’s Cooper Andrews) and his trusty buddies Mera (Community’s Gillian Jacobs) and Vulko (Reno 911‘s Thomas Lennon). The sequence follows Arthur for day one on the job because the King of Atlantis, as he has to take care of the pains of ruling a kingdom of his personal, in addition to being a mighty superhero. Villains will likely be fought, rulers will likely be solid, and…thrones will likely be sat in in essentially the most uncomfortable method potential!

It all seems to be very cute and lighthearted and has a really large ThunderCats Roar! vibe from its aesthetic—which is smart, as Roar’s Victor Courtright is showrunning the trilogy, alongside Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Marly Halpern-Graser, and each will executive-produce alongside Wan. Perhaps, like Roar earlier than it, this would possibly displease followers anticipating a extra straight-laced tackle the early days of Aquaman’s rule of Atlantis, however, like Roar earlier than it, that may not matter almost as a lot when this seems to be as enjoyable because it does.

Aquaman: King of Atlantis, which additionally stars Jellystone’s Dana Snyder as Orm, the Ocean Master (who we see getting the snot crushed out of him, but once more, within the trailer) will stream in three components weekly on HBO Max, beginning on October 14.
