The new motion poster for Aquaman showcases young Arthur Curry’s transition from ostracized youth to king of Atlantis.
Emphasizing the film’s tagline “Home is calling,” the initial image focuses on the future superhero, played by Kaan Guldur, connecting with his undersea roots at an aquarium, as seen in the first trailer for director James Wan’s adaptation. The image then transitions to the first movie poster, with Jason Momoa front and center as Aquaman.

This the second motion poster for the Warner Bros. film. Last week, the first motion poster showcased the cast in live-action transitioning to an illustrated recreation by artists Ivan Reis, Joe Prado, and Marcelo Maiolo.

The first trailer revealed glimpses of Arthur Curry’s origins in the surface world, with the hybrid human-Atlantean never quite fitting in with his human classmates. At peace in the ocean depths, surrounded by all manner of sea life, it’s clear Aquaman belongs in Atlantis with his people.
