Why Amber Heard Was Removed From Aquaman 2? Uncovered Truth

In DC Comics' superhero blockbuster Aquaman, Amber Heard played the lead role of Mera, the sea princess – Aquaman’s lover. Amber Heard will reprise this role in the sequel titled Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom, which is expected to be released in December 2023.

Although Aquaman was very successful, receiving critical acclaim and earning over 1 billion dollars (over 23 trillion Vietnamese dong) at theaters worldwide, Amber Heard's career has not been as successful compared to the male lead actor, Jason Momoa. Furthermore, there are rumors that in Aquaman 2, Amber Heard's screen time will only be about 10 minutes.

#1. The lawsuit between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

Johnny Depp, the famous actor and ex-husband of Amber Heard, filed a whopping $50 million defamation lawsuit against her. This all started because Amber wrote an opinion piece in The Washington Post back in December 2018, which Johnny felt was unfair.

Amber has also claimed that her role in the highly anticipated movie Aquaman 2 was significantly reduced after she was found guilty of slandering Johnny.

#2. Amber Heard’s poor performance

Poor performance and lack of chemistry with actor Jason Momoa is the big reason why Amber Heard was cut from acting in "Aquaman 2".

The representative of Amber Heard stated that the reason for Mera's reduced screen time in Aquaman 2 is due to Amber Heard's lack of chemistry and poor performance with the male lead Jason Momoa. The representative of Amber Heard said that after Aquaman season 1, Amber Heard was very well-received. However, the situation has changed since then, coincidentally when negative information about Amber Heard also appeared in the media. The representative of Amber Heard said that the statements from Johnny Depp's lawyer claiming that Amber Heard's accusations against Johnny Depp were a "hoax", added insult to injury.

Amber Heard personally said that she has fought very hard to maintain her career, specifically to have the role of Mera in Justice League and Aquaman. Amber Heard also confided that the film studio has significantly reduced her role as Mera in Aquaman 2: "They didn't want me in the movie."

When Johnny Depp and his legal team waged a campaign against Amber Heard, communication about the film stopped at that point. When she received the "new version" of the script, Amber Heard realized that her action scenes had been cut.
