Black Manta has always been known for his superior intellect and physical condition , which he has used to become both a feared fighter and expert buccaneer and treasure Orion . In summation to the obvious strength training , Abdul - Mateen II also trained in   martial arts as part of his prep . He   did n’t discontinue at that , however , as he evendove extensively into theAquamancomicsto   learn as much as he could about the character .

David Hyde ( and his alter ego Black Manta ) is not just a formidable foe but something of a torture someone . The young Hyde has digest   various mannequin of psychic trauma , ill-usage , and hardship in the comics , which help shape   his survival of the fittest instinct , malevolent prospect , and tearing tendencies . The strong-arm training for the theatrical role of Black Manta is undoubtedly very demanding , but Abdul - Mateen II seems well aware that the   villain can be quite compelling psychologically as well .

It   remains to be seen how faithful director James Wan ’s take onAquamanwill be to the comics in terms of Black Manta ’s suit and signature   red - eyed helmet . Abdul - Mateen II has alreadytrolled fansover the costume reveal , so hopefully next time he has the real costume to show off . The actor is still rather unproven in terms of major roles , but his piece of work onThe Get Downas   Clarence"Cadillac"Caldwell evince that he has potential in portraying defile , complicated   characters .
