We’ve seen Black Manta in this game actually. At E3 he was shown in a sizzle reel very briefly. The current announced roster doesn’t have him listed so his footage was probably from a scene transition.
In many of NetherRealm’s games you can hit a character into the side of the map and push them into a whole new setting to fight. In those transitions, characters may pop up in a little cameo to help push the character along. Having another character besides Aquaman using water themed style attacks could be very cool. He has been a fan favorite character in the first game.
With the Aquaman film in pre-production and with the announcement of Black Manta being the main villain, it’s time to get all casual fans (who may be unfamiliar with him) get on the hype train.
Emilia Clarke doesn't know if her character will return.
Who will have the last laugh?
