Warner Bros. believes that the campaigns against Amber Heard are similar to the ones which the Captain Marvel film sustained at some point, which did not affect the box office.
Amber Heard is perhaps today one of the most despised actresses in Hollywood, due to the legal problem of domestic violence in which she was recently involved with her ex-husband Johnny Depp. Despite this, she appears not to have been implicated by the British court ruling, considering the actress did not lose her job in Aquaman 2 and is apparently getting her Mera solo movie.
The trial that she and the UK news portal The Sun brought against Johnny Depp ended up affecting the actors career, since he lost his role as Gellert Grindelwald, the main antagonist of the Fantastic Beasts saga.
For its part, offering a film starring Mera, played by Amber Heard, might be a bad decision, because the actress, has many fans in an uproar against her. At first, she was praised for her portrayal of the red-haired heroine, but after the audiotape arose proving she physically and mentally abused her ex, fans have been unforgiving.
The first film was a box office success, which managed to position itself as the movie based on a DC Comics character that has raised the most money at the box office, since it reaped $ 1,148.4 million worldwide.
The report comes from the Geekosity portal, who assure that the producers and shareholders of Warner Bros. do not care about the hate campaigns from Johnny Depp fans against the sequel to Aquaman.
An insider close to Warner Bros. shared with Geekosity that they consider the campaigns against the actress similar to those that, at a certain time, was suffered by the first Captain Marvel film, a movie that was received with great statements of hatred, which did not affect the box office, considering it raised 1 billion dollars worldwide. For this reason, Warner Bros. has plans to continue to exploit the character with the same actress.
