The conflict between Amber Heard (Mera) and Johnny Depp had some repercussions on the careers of both actors. The second city lost everything: He was ousted from the franchise of Fantastic Beastsfired from the series on Houdini and lost his role as Jack Sparrow for Pirates of the Caribbean. Worse still, he was designated persona non-grata at Hollywoodthe media court having it ” executed“professionally for example.” However, the affair between the two ex-spouses was much deeper than that and, one thing led to another, Amber Heard also began to have heavy suspicions of domestic violence against her.
Then followed an ultra-publicized trial in the United States where hearing was heard as a defendant in the defamation lawsuit filed by her ex-husband. A trial that the former interpreter of Jack Sparrow successfully won, whether in the eyes of justice but also in the eyes of the world. A defeat that struggled to take Amber Heard especially since his career was seriously threatened.
It was thus implied that his character of Mera was going to be removed from the sequel by Aquaman baptized The Lost Kingdom. However, her screen time is officially known and should join the first theories: Mera will have extremely reduced screen time… but will always be present. Founder and Editor-in-Chief ofHeroic Hollywood, Umberto Gonzáleztook part in a Twitter space with Erik Davis to discuss the future of DC Movies after the cancellation of Batgirl and was asked about the news aroundAquaman 2also featuring the Screen Time rumors ofAmber Heard :
Erik Davis: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom I heard it was over too… And whatever Amber Heard is in it, that’s what you get. I don’t know if you know more about it, if they try to take a few steps there, but from what I heard that movie is over and I heard it was awesome too.
Umberto González: Yes it is. She is still part of it. They’re not just going to like it, they’re going to erase it outright either. She’s barely in the movie. She’s been in there for like, according to one of my sources, she’s been there for about 20 minutes. I don’t know if it will stay like that or if it will change with the editing… Anything can happen between now and the film’s release, so yes.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be released in theaters on March 15, 2023 in France.
