Up front and captured in detail is a dark-colored arm brace or leg piece, looking like it's made of tarnished bronze or blackened metal. On the piece is a nautical design in the form of an octopus, jutting out from the surface as a detailed relief.
Just back and to the left is what looks like a hooked spearheadm as well as some other pieces of armor. One of them looks like a helmet with what looks like a lizard or dragon emblem added to one side, as Screen Rant notes.
The hooked weapon has caught the interest of at least one fan, with a Twitter user asking Wan if he intends to mold his Aquaman along the lines of the recent comic books, where the hero replaced a lost hand with a hook.
The director, however, dismissed the notion with a simple "No," as he posted on Twitter on the same day.
Black armor seems to be the theme for the upcoming "Aquaman" movie, as shown in another sneak peek. In what could be an early look at a scene in the movie, Aquaman is shown facing off against who might be his nemesis, Black Manta.
"Aquaman" is set to premiere on Dec. 21.
