Aquaman 3: Rise of the Trench (2026)

Starring: Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Nicole Kidman, Temuera Morrison
In Aquaman 3: Rise of the Trench, the balance between land and sea is once again at risk when seismic rifts in the ocean floor awaken a forgotten terror: The Trench—a savage, ancient species once banished to the abyss.


King Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa), now a seasoned ruler of Atlantis and father to a young heir, must face a nightmare that threatens not only his kingdom but the entire world. As the Trench creatures swarm toward the surface, their hive queen emerges—an unstoppable force tied to Atlantis’ darkest history.


To survive the onslaught, Arthur must forge uneasy alliances with old enemies, including a resurrected Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), whose vendetta may be the key to defeating the growing horror. Meanwhile, Mera (Amber Heard) uncovers a forbidden magic deep within Atlantis, one that could turn the tide—or doom them all.


Packed with heart, world-ending stakes, and terrifying new enemies, Aquaman 3 dives deeper into the mythology and horror beneath the sea—where the real monsters were never human.
