Amid the ongoing trial against Johnny Depp, Amber Heard’s part in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has been cut to 10 minutes of screen time.
In her trial against Johnny Depp, all the evidence points to Amber Heard as the villain of the narrative, and fans want her to lose her career as much as it has harmed Johnny Depp. The Aquaman franchise is likely one of Warner Bros.’s most profitable right now, and it’s also one of the few that topped $1 billion in box office receipts.
For years, there have been whispers that Amber Heard would lose her job as Mera due to the ongoing issue. People are persuaded she does not deserve to continue portraying the comic-book character now that they know more specifics. Fanfiction depicts actress Emilia Clark as a potential replacement for her in the future.
Petition to drop Amber Heard from Aquaman 2 surpasses 2 million signature
While the Cinema Con is still going on, rumors of a new ‘Aquaman‘ sequel began to leak through to all of the leading news sites. There is proof that Amber Heard only had 10 minutes of screen time in the latest screening that select press members witnessed on Thursday.
According to the first report from film reviewer Grace Randolph, this was just a technical choice unrelated to the present trial circumstances. However, as events progress, everything for the actress might change in the blink of an eye. She may quickly lose her role and be removed from the film’s final version.
Depp, 58, has filed a defamation action for $50 million (£39 million) after claiming Heard’s violence allegations against him are baseless. Heard is suing back.
The trial, which has been going on for 12 days, is anticipated to continue for roughly seven weeks after Depp claimed in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed about domestic violence that Heard lied about being a victim of abuse and hinted he was the abuser.
Depp also claimed that Heard had assaulted him during their 15-month marriage and romance.
Depp lost a lot of movie parts after losing a similar trial in the UK against Heard and News Group Newspapers (NGN), including Gellert Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts, which was replaced.
More than 2 million people signed a petition on Change.org demanding Amber Heard’s removal from the picture. We know that petitions aren’t often as effective as people think, but this one might be a huge exception.
Warner Bros.’ primary goal is to attract as many moviegoers as possible to theatres, and they will go to any length to achieve that goal. We still have to hear what the actress has to say to the jury, but there is no scheduled date for her to testify. While everything is going on, everything at Warner is moving along, and critical choices about her future with the corporation are just around the horizon.
