Amber Heard IS Mera

[Mysteryman]

Any news about Aquaman 2?

 

[Primal Slayer]

Amber confirmed today that her role has been greatly reduced

 

[Comicbookguy339]

Wish they had just recast her if that's the case. Mera (the character) deserves better.

 

[Mani-Man]

Should never have casted her in the first place, but yeah...recasting should have happened long ago.
First time the Mainstream gets to see Mera and it had to be with her...the character deserved far better.
The stuff you could have done with Mera...tragic that we also now get reduced screentime for the character because of the actress.

 

[Karelia]

Honestly, I liked her as Mera, but with what's going on with her in the real world, time to bring in Emilia Clarke as Dolphin or recast her as Mera. Lol.

They could do a multiverse/alternate reality movie: a “world’s finest” team-up of Heard’s Mera and Ezra Miller’s Flash vs. Kevin Spacey’s Lex Luthor.

Agreed. Snyder had glowing things to say about her after the JL reshoots and told WB to keep her around. I wonder how much that influenced the decision to not recast at the time.

Zack Snyder Reportedly Told Warner Bros. To Keep Amber Heard For Aquaman 2 - We Got This Covered

 

[Karelia]

Since when did We Got This Covered become a realiable source lol. I must have missed the memo. Regardless, I'm sure Heard was very nice to Snyder. She seems pretty good at putting up a facade, or so it seems.

This was leaked out by Daniel Richtman who has a pretty solid reputation as an insider.

Just recast her and be done with it like I don't understand why DCEU and Warner Brothers are just dragging their heels on this

AMBER HEARD IS MERA

Maybe: Not anymore, she's not.

I will believe she is not in it when reports start coming out about the Final Cut of the film and they say she's not.

WB is in something of a bind. Heard’s current notoriety could indeed affect Aquaman 2’s Box office success. But announcing that she’s been fired and won’t appear in a hypothetical Aquaman 3 might be an even worse PR move.

 

[Karelia]

They've cut her down to 10 minutes, she said she had to fight to keep her role in the movie because WB was going to fire her and remove her completely. I think they have enough time to reshoot 10 minutes worth of scenes, or rework them. Honestly, it would be wise if they have to postpone it even more to get her out of the film. She has looked awful in the court trials and is pretty much the laughingstock of the internet right now.

 

[Dr.]

Perhaps get Zack Snyder to film replacement scenes with Tig Notaro as the new Mera.

 

[Filmfreak]

Ironically enough Snyder supported Heard a lot, by pushing WB to have her in the reshoots of his Justice League cut.

Can Tig pull off a british accent?

It’s a shame that Mera’s role is getting cut down because of all this. She’s such a cool character.
It really would serve in their best interests if they just went ahead and recast her and reshoot what little scenes she has left.

 

[Captain Tired]

In fairness, I don't think any other actress would pull from as much real life experience for the leaked scene in Aquaman 2 where Mera does a dookie on the seabed.

Mera is an awesome character. Amber Heard did okay in the role, I even liked her in it, but she can easily be recast and most people wi gladly accept that and even be more joyful for Aquaman 2.

What's interesting, is Jason Momoa had a hand in writing the script... and he also started following JD on Instagram.

-It does sound like Momoa and Wan fought her to keep her in the film, but who knows. Also, the lady who was speaking during the trial today spoiled bits of the movie lol. I wonder if they will change anything now.

My guess would be that it is cheaper to either pare down or eliminate all scenes with Mera than recast the role and reshoot her scenes.

I think removing her scenes would help their Box office results, honestly. I know a lot of people have said her being in it won't effect it that much, but... idk. The amount of people that have watched this trial, the hits videos get on YT about it... and the overwhelming support of JD makes me think otherwise.

Hearing spoilers for the film in the trial today kinda sucked ngl lol. Wasn't expecting that.

That psychiatrist's cross examination was wild.

I doubt it. If we were talking about Ezra Miller where he's the main character, than sure. If this was Jason Momoa they'd have a big problem. But nobody cares about Mera. They could probably just recast the character and most of the mainstream audience wouldn't even notice the difference.
