We’ve been following the dramatic affair between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp for some time. And while the actor has been eliminated from his projects with Warner Bros., Heard seems to remain steadfast in her role as Mera.
After Johnny Depp’s resignation from the Fantastic Beasts franchise, much has been speculated about Amber Heard’s status as Mera in the Aquaman films. Some rumors began to run that the actress would be replaced in the role and many Depp fans even campaigned for Amber’s removal from this work.
“Paid rumors and paid campaigns on social media don’t dictate [casting decisions] because they have no basis in reality,” Heard stated. “Only the fans actually made Aquaman and Aquaman 2 happen. I’m excited to get started next year.”
According to the actress, she continues to produce Aquaman 2 and is looking forward to starting work on the sequel. The assertion was conveyed to EW.
“I’m super excited about the amount of fan love and the amount of fan appreciation that Aquaman has acquired and that it has garnered so much excitement for Aquaman and Mera that it means we’ll be coming back. I’m so excited to film that.”
