Aquaman drumming octopus Topo returns in ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.’ One of the breakout stars from 2018’s Aquaman is returning for the sequel. In an interview with Empire, director James Wan confirmed that the Aquaman drumming octopus Topo will return in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Wan also teased that the octopus will have a bigger role in the film. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is scheduled to be released on December 20. In the first Aquaman movie Topo made a cameo appearance while playing the drums. The octopus appeared when Aquaman (Jason Momoa) was about to fight his half-brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) for the first time in front of an audience of Atlanteans. According to Wan, Topo will have a more important role in Aquaman’s story in the sequel. “Topo is a real character in this one!” said Wan. “In the comic, he’s a big part of Arthur’s life – a sidekick, pet, friend. So, we’re leaning into that.” In the comics, Topo was first introduced in Adventure Comics #229 in 1956. Read the full article and watch the trailer…
