![]() I think it was a really strong introduction that these people can look back on and be proud. But yeah, it was a little bit of a sad moment when it did end because I knew we created something special that could keep going, but i think it’s gonna be one of those shows that people can definitely look back and appreciate it and see, oh these actors got a really strong introduction and moved onto really cool things: Shameik Moore, Justice Smith, and the rest of the team as well. ![]() ![]() I knew that Cadillac character would have to go through some type of transformation because he was so rooted in the ‘70s. I knew that as we moved further into the ‘80s the identity of the show would change. Where do you think the show would have gone if it wasn’t canceled, and how do you feel about the entire experience reflecting on it now? On The Get Down you played Cadillac, a disco-obsessed villain. I have a lot of fun with that and what he could be doing when he’s not on the mission. And it’s a little more regular, and then when it’s time to pick up the phone or go back to work, he’s very serious about his work: being a mercenary and a pirate and locating Aquaman. You could put him in scenarios where he’s just looking for revenge, but I like to think about him listening to music or secretly dancing or something like that.

Oh yeah, I definitely got to move around in the suit. I know Aquaman used a lot of stunt actors, but did you ever get to wear the full Black Manta suit? He was a very mysterious character acting upon unknown motives with the sole purpose of taking out Arthur Curry. For quite a few decades following his introduction to the DC Universe, almost no backstory was provided for him. You know, you can never predict the outcome of a project, but you can always say, “I want to work with people who inspire me and work with people who have really good taste.” And for me, thus far, that’s been a pretty good litmus test to choose the type of work that I want to involve myself in. Black Manta was created by writer Bob Haney and artist Nick Cardy in 1967 and made his first appearance in Aquaman 35. I think as long as I continue to look for projects from people with really good taste then I can’t go wrong. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II: I appreciate you saying that. Inverse: You’ve been on some really cool TV shows over the years. While human, Black Manta himself is a descendant of an Atlantean ancestor.Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in 'Aquaman' Warner Bros.Comicsīlack Manta's suit contains a bioelectric seal, able to protect him from hydrokinetic attacks aimed at pulling moisture from his body.
