Director responds to Amber Heard’s accusations that her reduced role as Mera is ‘not her movie’

Ahead of tomorrow’s trailer, EW has published an extensive interview with the director. James Wanin which he discusses the film and the troubled production.

As many of you may remember, during the libel trial against Johnny Depp,

Amber Heard also discussed Aquaman 2 (where we will see her again as Mera). According to the charges brought by the actress, even before the trial was completed, Warner Bros. terminated her contract for the role Measurecausing her to “fight to maintain her role in the film”, significantly reduced compared to the original scenario.

They terminated our contract. I had to fight to stay in the film, in the end they decided to keep the role, but I don’t know how long I will be in the final version. I don’t even know if I’ll be part of the final version or how much playing time I’ll have. It was difficult to remain in the cast of this film.

As for the words of the actress, the director James Wan explained that this second chapter it was never a movie Measure:

I have always proposed this idea to everyone from the very beginning. The first Aquaman follows the journey of Arthur and Mera, while the second follows the journey of Arthur and Orm. The first is a romance, action and adventure film, the second is a bromance action and adventure film (between Orm and Arthur).
