Amber Heard’s role as Mera in Aquaman 2 to be recast?

Just weeks after Amber Heard lost her defamation case against Johnny Depp, a few entertainment portals reported that the actress’ role in ‘Aquaman 2’ has indeed been cut and that her character Mera will be recast.

The actress’ role in the film starring Jason Momoa in the lead, came under the scanner following the six-week-long defamation trial of her ex-husband Johnny Depp. During the trial, Amber herself admitted she did not know if her character would make the final cut of the film.

Heard also alleged in court that it was due to the case that Warner Bros. decided to significantly cut her role and also refused to increase her pay for the second instalment. During the trial, the head of the DC filmsWaltar hamada testified that they wanted to recast her due to her lack of chemistry with Jason Momoa.

But her team denied the news and claimed that the “false rumour was born out of post-trial vitriol for Amber”. ‘Aquaman 2’ also known as ‘Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom’ is slated to hit the theatres on March 17, 2023. The Superhero film is directed by James Wan and stars Jason Mamoa, Nicole Kidman, William Defoe along with Amber.
