Amber Heard will be a part of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. After reports suggested that Amber Heard has been cut entirely from the second Aquaman movie, titled Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the actor’s spokesperson has denied them. Publications like Just Jared had said a new actor will be cast as Heard’s character, Mera.
Now, a spokesperson of Heard has told Variety, “The rumour mill continues as it has from day one – inaccurate, insensitive and slightly insane.”
Heard briefly appeared in 2017’s Justice League in the role of Mera, who is a princess from the underwater kingdom of Xebel, opposite Jason Momoa’s titular half-human and half-Atlantean superhero. She then played a starring role and female lead in the standalone Aquaman movie directed by James Wan that released in 2018.
Amber Heard’s ex-husband Johnny Depp came out on top in his recently concluded $50 million defamation trial against her. The verdict in Fairfax County Circuit Court stated that Depp had been defamed in three different statements in an op-ed written by Heard in the Washington Post. Heard had not named Depp in the piece, but had called herself an abuse victim.
