In new courtroom testimony, Amber Heard says Warner Bros. wanted to cut her role entirely from AquamanAndTheLostKingdom.
Actress Amber Heard claims that Warner Bros. scaled back her role as Mera in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Heard first appeared as Mera in Zack Snyder's Justice League, before moving on to a more prominent role in James Wan's solo feature, Aquaman. Starring Jason Momoa as the titular character, as well as Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Willem Dafoe, and Nicole Kidman, Heard was featured prominently in Aquaman, almost as a co-lead.
Shortly after her divorce from actor Johnny Depp, Heard wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post that suggested Depp abused her during their relationship, which spawned a number of lawsuits from Depp, including a libel lawsuit against The Sun, which he lost. Depp then sued Heard for defamation, which is currently in trial proceedings. Heard received backlash for her op-ed, which later had fans petition to have her removed from the Aquaman sequel.
Lawyer: Have you participated in Aquaman 2?Heard: I have.Lawyer: And tell us about that.Heard: I had to fight to--I fought really hard to stay in the movie. They didn’t want to include me in the film.Lawyer: Were you ultimately able to film in Aquaman 2?Heard: A very pared down version of that role, yes.Lawyer: What if anything changed in the script?Heard: I was given a script.
Heard recently appeared in Zack Snyder's Justice League when it was released on HBO Max last year, showing up in additional scenes not in the original theatrical version of the film.
Regardless of how the defamation trial between Heard and Depp plays out, both actors have continued to face public scrutiny over their very public trial. Depp has already lost out on both the Fantastic Beasts role of Grindelwald, as well as a sixth outing in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
