Before that, the 37-year-old actress only appeared once in the trailer for the movie released in September. Heard only appeared briefly for… a split second, if you don’t pay attention to the trailer, The audience didn’t even know Heard was in there.

In the first episode – Aquaman (Aquaman: King of Atlantis – 2018), Heard plays Princess Mera, she lives in the kingdom. Atlantis under the sea.

From being an ally standing next to the water king, Mera later became the wife of the male protagonist, a role played by actor Jason Momoa. The role of Mera had quite a bit of acting space in the first part and was considered an opportunity to create a turning point for Amber Heard’s acting career in Hollywood.

However, the lawsuit between Heard and her ex-husband – actor Johnny Depp – has greatly affected Heard’s image. Heard believes that because of this lawsuit, many scenes from her role in Aquaman 2 were cut.

Her ex-boyfriend – billionaire Elon Musk – is said to have tried everything to help so that Heard could still retain her role in this blockbuster film project.

According to information obtained by news Variety, Heard was almost cut from the role in Aquaman 2 so as not to have a negative impact on the film project. As soon as he learned this information, Elon Musk decided to become a “hero to save beauty”. Using his position as the richest billionaire in the world, Elon Musk sent someone to talk to the studio and convince them to reconsider their decision.

During the lawsuit between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp in 2022, Heard’s psychiatrist was asked to share information about the actress.

Accordingly, Heard shared with the psychiatrist many negative things about the film crew Aquaman 2. She told the psychiatrist about the fact that her co-star – actor Jason Momoa – while drunk dressed like Johnny Depp to appear on set.

In addition, according to Heard, Momoa tried to influence her to have her role cut. The problems encountered on the set of Aquaman 2 made Heard feel very difficult and miserable. She finds herself always on the verge of being completely removed from the blockbuster film project.

Standing in court, Heard once said: “I had to fight to keep my role in the biggest film project I’ve ever had the opportunity to participate in. I had to fight very hard to not be eliminated from work because of the consequences of my broken marriage with Johnny Depp.

Amber Heard said that at first she was given the script Aquaman 2 with a lot of acting space for her. After that, Heard was given a new script again, this time, the writer almost cut all of her important scenes, with no clear explanation given.

Amber Heard’s lawyer also confirmed that they received a letter sent by the film company. In it, the studio mentioned that Heard did not get along well with the male lead Momoa, so the studio did not want to invite Heard to continue appearing in Aquaman 2.

However, in July this year, Heard spoke up quite positively about her continuing to play the role of Mera in Aquaman 2. She said she felt very honored to return to DC’s cinematic universe, although she also felt a lot of pressure.

So, somehow, Heard still retains the role of Mera in Aquaman 2. But up to this point, When the trailers and teasers introducing the movie were released, the reality was that Heard’s role seemed to be just a “super supporting” role.
