The Aquaman 2 Poster Seems To Humiliate Amber Heard

Seems like Aquaman 2 is going to be extraordinarily thrilling as it has already created a buzz in the entire world with a new poster that has completely ignored Mera or Amber Heard‘s presence in the movie. There were speculations already since the trailer was out that barely showed Mera and with this new poster, it is quite evident that Jason Momoa‘s film won’t be focusing much on Heard’s character.

Heard’s limited screen time as Mera seems to be a piece of good news for Jhonny Depp‘s fans as they confidently celebrated it more after this new poster arrived. However, not every fan is against Heard and expressed their concern over the actress’s role irrespective of the personal controversies. According to the X post fans have shared their opinions:

These tweets were enough to witness how Depp’s fans don’t care even if Amber Heard is in Momoa’s movie or not, and on the other hand Amber Heard’s fans are running a hashtag for a new poster which includes Mera along with Aquaman.

Well, this has been made clear since the sequel was announced that it will focus on the relationship between Aquaman and his brother Orm, even the director James Wan also revealed that his original plan for this sequel was always about Jason Momoa and Patrick Wilson‘s characters. While speaking in the latest edition of Empire Magazine, via (The Direct) Wan said:

“It’s fair that [Heard] said that [about the character being pared down], because she wasn’t in my head as I was working on this movie. Actors don’t necessarily know what we [directors] behind the scenes are thinking about. But this was always my plan. From the start, I pitched that the first film would be a ‘Romancing The Stone ‘-type thing — an action-adventure romantic comedy — while the second would be an outright buddy comedy. I wanted to do ‘Tango & Cash!”

Wan explained his plan after Amber Heard claimed during her defamation trial that Warner Bros. cut her role down because of her legal battle and didn’t want to focus much on her role. However, James Wan clarified that Aquaman 2 was always planned as “an outright buddy comedy” instead of Mera and Arthur’s love relationship.
