Aquaman footage shown at Comic-Con 2017, here's what happens

The solo film is currently filming in Australia, with the character set to make his first appearance in this year's Justice League

With the focus sticking on this year's Justice League, Warner Bros. didn't have a huge amount to show from its future DC movies at this year's Comic-Con, especially since Aquaman is still currently shooting in Australia.

However, Jason Momoa still took to the stage - trident in hand - to introduce a brief clip from the film, after a video introduction from director James Wan.

According to Total Film, the scene opens on a rusty old radio blaring out Charles Trenet's "La Mer", which may be better known by its English version "Beyond the Sea", as two men fish under blue skies.

A quaint scene, that is, until one of the men hooks something that's far beyond his power, dragging the boat wildly across the surface of the water.

The fisherman lets go of the line just before they're pulled under, only to witness exactly what he caught: some kind of mechanical stingray, with a row of blue lights around its edge.

A shark fin then emerges from the depths, belonging to one of an entire fleet of sub-aquatic ships. The camera plunges underwater to examine this wonder, which ranges from single-person mechanical sharks to huge battle ships.

The panel later revealed the ships belong to the Ocean Master, brother to Aquaman and played by Patrick Wilson in the film, a supervillain whose fleet makes it clear he's a formidable threat.

The clip ended with Aquaman himself, standing atop a shipwreck. "You don't want to talk about this, do you?" he asks an offscreen presence, before twirling his sword and striking a perfect hero pose. "Neither do I."

Aquaman hits UK cinemas 21 December.
