‘Not A Chance In Hell’: Internet Doubles Down On Aquaman 2 Boycott After Amber Heard Screentime Increase
Many were expecting that after Depp won his retrial he would be returning to the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise as Captain Jack Sparrow, but to date, there has not been an announcement at all. Luckily though, it appears that instead of having a reduced role in Aquaman 2, Amber Heard’s part could get beefed up due to her increased screen time.

As per the recent reports, Amber Heard will play a vital role in Aquaman 2 by appearing on screen for up to 25 minutes. A test screening will determine how she is received by moviegoers, whose reactions were previously influenced by the actor’s ongoing legal battle with her estranged husband, Johnny Depp. Now that Heard’s defamation case against Depp has been dropped, Warner Bros is free to proceed as they please with this superhero flick.

I've been a fan of Jason Momoa for years, watched every single movie and series he's in. I never thought I would say this but yes I'm boycotting Aquaman 2. I am deeply appalled by what Amber Heard did to Johnny Depp that it amounts more than my admiration for Jason. So sorry baby

With that being said, Amber Heard will indeed be seen in the Aquaman movie but it looks like her role might last very long due to the amount of time she is rumored to have on-screen. She has not yet been cut out entirely though and we can’t wait to see what shape this character will take!
