“Measure was never central to the sequel”

The director appears to have denied Amber Heard’s claims that she was cut from the film because of Johnny Depp’s trial.

Aquaman 2 (full name, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom) is a recent feature film directed by James Wan (The Conjuring – The Conjuring, Beyond Evil – Insidious 2), who had previously directed the first film of the saga, which was released in 2018. Unfortunately, this second chapter had several production difficulties due to the coronavirus, which certainly slowed down the filming and writing processes of this sequel. However, this was not the only real problem with the production, as the director himself confirmed in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly

during which he also explained some details of participation Amber Heard (which came back as Measure).

Aquaman 2 will be released in Italian cinemas from December 25, 2023.

“The hardest part at first was not knowing if Aquaman would come out before or after The Flash. So we just had to be ready. Ultimately, the best thing I would say about this film is that it has no connection to any of those films. This is the conclusion. I have always suggested this to everyone from the very beginning. The first Aquaman was the journey of Arthur and Mera. The second film was always going to be Arthur and Orme. So the first one was a romantic adventure film and the second one was a bromance adventure film. Let’s leave everything as it is.”

Therefore, contrary to what Heard said, it was not planned for Mera to play a central role in the second film from the beginning. Aquaman

as Wan wanted to focus more on the relationship between the protagonist and his brother Orm (Patrick Wilson). We remind you that Aquaman 2produced in particular DC Studios, Atomic Monster and Safranwill be released in Italian cinemas on December 25, 2023.
