Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Summary
TheDCEU ’s net movie , Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom , boast a star - studded cast from Jason Momoa himself to a very abbreviated and hard - to - spot cameo theatrical role by Martin Short . Aquaman and the Lost Kingdomwas the last time that Momoa ’s Arthur Curry would be seen on the big screen , with James Gunn and Peter Safran ’s unexampled DCU reboot set to remold many - but not all - of the fictitious character thatprecede 2025’sSuperman , which begin shooting on February 29 . Aquaman needed to go out with a bang , and Martin Short was there to contribute a mitt .
Martin Short is a fabled histrion and comedian known for his work onSaturday Night Live , Three Amigos , andOnly execution in the Buildingto name a few . Commonly associated with fellow legend in the game , Steve Martin , Short ’s career is multifaceted , touring comedy show and playing persona in movies , specially as a part doer . While he has n’t star in many acclaimed motion picture in recent years , his filmography tends to skew toward light-hearted drollery and animation . This is reflected in his brief appearance in theAquaman and the Lost Kingdomcast , in which he play a flake part in a particularly unrecognizable guise .
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom finish convey the DCEU enfranchisement to a finis with Jason Momoa ’s aquatic king of Atlantis facing Black Manta .
Martin Short’s Cameo In Aquaman 2 Starts At 53:38
Martin Short appears inAquaman and the Lost Kingdomat 53:38 , during the aspect in which Arthur and Orm visit the Sunken Citadel plagiariser seaport to harvest selective information about Black Manta ’s whereabouts . To do this , they feign capture by the colorful pirate inhabitants of the Sunken Citadel to be brought before Kingfish , voice by Martin Short . Like John Rhys - Davies ' Brine King , Short ’s character is rendered entirely in CGI to resemble a particularly decadent anthropomorphic fish .
The panorama is one of the motion-picture show ’s highlights but woefully brief , as the ab initio tight - lipped Kingfish chop-chop bends to Aquaman ’s will follow a poor skirmish and the threat of suffocation . mold Short in this role was a shrewd move , as the character is evidently a baptismal font of comic relief ( and a utilitarian plot twist ) with the role player ’s expertness ooze from the princely and self - assured kingbolt of the sea . This was probably help by the fact that Short had very little to go off in terms of source fabric .
Who Is Kingfish & Is He From DC Comics?
Kingfish may have been base on one of two DC Comics characters , and both are dark . The most likely is King Fish , who appeared inAquaman # 54and most closely resemble Short ’s character inAquaman and the Lost Kingdomfrom his purplish hue to his sharp tooth . This villain was decidedly more fearsome , however , as he successfully poisoned Atlantean citizen and turned them against King Arthur to arrogate his throne . Another less likely possibility is that he is based on the Dakotaverse ’s sendup of Marvel ’s Kingpin , Kingfish , who looks practically identical to the human scoundrel .

Cast
The only real law of similarity with the latter is that they divvy up a name and a job as the kingbolt of the underworld . Whatever the case , it seem that James Wan employed as much originative license with Kingfish as he did with Karshon , the clearly humanoid Council of Atlantis phallus who shares a name with an humanlike shark in DC Comics . In the closing , Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom ’s Kingfish was just as isolated as his comic book twin , as he was only on - screenland for a matter of minutes anyway .
