How The Internet Reacts To Amber Heard Aquaman 2 Drama

In mid-September, simultaneous with the release of the "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" trailer, sensitive documents from the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial surfaced on Reddit, posing a fresh predicament for Warner Bros., the studio responsible for the film.

These documents, financed by Depp's supporters, unveiled a contentious ambiance on the set of "Aquaman." They contained assertions that Jason Momoa was allegedly drunk and dressed similarly to Johnny Depp, which scared Heard and also lobbied for her ouster from the role as Mera.

The therapy notes also portrayed Heard's perception of feeling unsupported by the film's director, James Wan, and being treated as an outcast due to her highly publicized legal battle with her ex-husband.

However, Wan did not comment on these allegations. The DC spokesperson maintained that James Wan was known for his respectful and collaborative approach on set, including the "Aquaman" films.

However, matching the remarkable success of the 2018 "Aquaman" in China, which earned almost $300 million, has proven to be a tough feat. Recent DC films like "Barbie" and "The Flash" fell far short of "Aquaman," with earnings of $35.1 million and $25.9 million, respectively.

Well, well, well, it's safe to say that Aquaman 2's backstage drama is a tale as dramatic as the movie itself. Amber Heard's Aquaman shenanigans were, surprisingly, not tied to the legal drama with Johnny Depp. Instead, it was down to chemistry issues with her co-star, Jason Momoa, a decision made by the studio and director after the first "Aquaman."

But in a twist that sounds like it's straight out of a Hollywood script, Warner Bros. ultimately decided to keep her on board after a rather...let's say, forceful intervention by her former beau, Elon Musk. Now, who would've thought that a superhero movie could come with so much real-life intrigue?
