mera’s role reduced for aquaman 2?
Several times during the trial between Johnny Depp and the actor Amber Heard, the movie Aquaman 2 has been mentioned. And while the charges at against Johnny Depp ousted him; Fantastic Beasts 3,to the benefit of Mads Mikkelsen, it seems to have been the same for Amber Heard. The actress recently revealed; fear not appearing in the final cut of Aquaman 2. And for good reason, in addition to having filmed there; fewer sequences than expected, it is not certain to be kept in post-production: “I do not know if I will even be in the final cut or at what level I’ll be in. It was hard to stay in the movie.”
Behind his fears, a precedent tooth disappointment between the actress and Warner, who had already almost fired Heard for her lack of chemistry with Jason Momoa, but also the fact that she was released from her contract a few days before the shooting: “I was given a script” she explains. “And then I was given new versions of the script which removed action scenes, which depicted my character and another – not to spoil it – two characters fighting with another. They basically removed a bunch of stuff.”

Recently, Hollywood producer Kathryn Arnold was called to the stand to testify, and more importantly, to corroborate the actress s claims that her appearance as Mera in Aquaman 2 was originally much more important than it has become.Only, Arnold will share a little too much info, including a spoiler:
“When two actors are successful in a romantic relationship, and you know, they’re getting married or they’re going to have a baby, you want that to continue. Some of what worked well in Aquaman was not only the action sequences, but the fact that a strong female character has a relationship with a strong male character, it is very empowering. So that’s what worked. for them initially. And according to Ms. Heard, when she read the first script for Aquaman 2, she had a strong romantic arc [in] the whole movie, and she was also treated to a smash hit. great action sequences to the end of this plot in this scenario. She was prominently present in the Aquaman 2 script when she first read it.”
Arnold then continued. explaining that Heard had trained a lot physically for the role, in particular because she was convinced that action scenes would be at hand. film. But for a long time, Heard reportedly received no script from the production, unlike Heard. other actors and actresses of the film who already had them; received several.And when a script arrived between his hands, Heard would then have realized that his role had been “decreased”, disagreeing with previous statements from the Aquaman 2 producers who originally stated that the inclusion of Amber Heard in the sequel had never been questioned.
“I believe that in the first act of the film, she was injured. somehow, or had something to do with the baby.” Arnold continued. “I don’t know exactly, I base myself on what Ms. Heard told me, that she ends up in the hospital at the start of this new Aquaman 2 movie, and that she doesn’t really come out of it until the end, to kind of wrap things up. But all of the interactions with Momoa’s [character], and certainly the action scenes, were smooth. removed.”
According to Arnold, the character of Mera would therefore be removed from the screen as of the beginning of the film. A decision probably linked to the current popularity of Amber Heard, as well as the ongoing trial. Warner would therefore have ended up taking a stand against to the actress, despite her previous statements. It remains to be seen what the final cut will have in store for us.
