It seems like Johnny Depp fans’ desperate attempts of banning Amber Heard from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom carried no water. Warner Bros and producers of the movie are reportedly adamant about casting Heard as Mera. Previously, Heard received a barrage of outrageous feedback due to her increased screen time in Aquaman 2.

Fans Upset With Amber Heard’s Return In Aquaman 2

With the news of Amber Heard returning as Mera in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, it seems like Warner Bros never even considered a sequel without Heard. Axing the actress from Aquaman was never an option for the producers, despite netizens’ desperate attempts. Producer Peter Safran, previously stated with clarity, “I don’t think we’re ever going to react to, honestly, pure fan pressure. You gotta do what’s best for the movie”.

Calling out the “double standards” twitteratis brutally slammed the entertainment sector. 

Johnny Depp career was done off of her word. Now that it’s the other way around she’s getting to come back? The double standard is crazy!

Keep that same energy with Jonathan Majors.

Pointing out the pseudo-feminism prevailing in the industry, netizens clearly state the difference. 

The double standard is very high. Johnny Depp was still innocent and they cancelled him and terminated almost all his deals. Amber heard was proven guilty and she got more deals. You won't see the feminists complaining about this one.

Claiming, “the double standards is WILD”, a user mentioned the prejudice of the industry towards a man while sympathizing with the perpetrator. 

The double standard is WILD. If it was the other way around, there would be no way the industry would allow Johnny (a man) to return. They would’ve canceled his whole career.

Dragging the petition in between conversations, a user showed how nearly 4.6M people signed it, and yet it Warner Bros turned a blind eye to it.

Infuriated netizens even declared to ban the movie and avoid watching it just because of Amber Heard. 

I think I speak for everyone when I say we aren’t watching it .. we stand with Johnny depp

Recalling an incident pointed out during the defamation trial, one user brutally slammed the actress for ruining Depp’s life and career. 

This double standard is nauseating! Johnny Depp was dropped from “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise over nothing meanwhile Amber Turd, abused Depp, ‘turded’ his bed, told lies against him but still has her ‘swimming around role’. WB and DC will watch this alone.
