Amber Heard reprized her role as Mera Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The actress took to social media to thank the support she received from fans who watched the DC Studios film.

Heard first played the role of Mera in 2017 Justice League before reprising her role in the film Aquarius 2018 film directed by James Wan.

The Aquarius The sequel, directed by Wan based on a screenplay by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, was released on December 22, 2023. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom begins several years after Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) became king of Atlantis, married Mera and had a son, whom she named Arthur Jr.

The film’s sequel was announced after Heard made allegations against Johnny Depp. Warner Bros. Depp deleted Fantastic Beasts 3 and an online petition to remove Heard from the site Aquarius The sequel received more than 1.5 million signatures.

Wan addressed rumors earlier this year that Heard’s involvement in the sequel had been scaled back.

“I told everyone about it from the beginning. The first Aquaman was the journey of Arthur (Jason Mamoa) and Mera (Heard). The second film was always going to be Arthur and Orm (Patrick Wilson),” Wan told EW. “So the first one was a romantic action-adventure film, the second one is a bromance action-adventure film. We’ll leave it there.”

In her statement, Heard said that her character’s presence in newer versions of the script decreased: “I was given a script and then new versions of the script that included action scenes depicting my character and another character.” . – without giving away any spoilers – two characters fight each other, and they actually demanded a lot from my role. They just took some of them with them.”
