Due to her lack of chemistry with actor Jason Momoa, the chief executive of DC Films, which produced “Aquaman,” testified that the creative team was apprehensive about Amber Heard’s position in the sequel.
In the defamation trial between Heard and her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, taped testimony from Walter Hamada, president of DC Films, a Warner Bros. branch, was delivered to the jury on Tuesday, March 24.
Hamada testified that “Aquaman” was the studio’s highest-grossing film of all time, that the corporation never intended to cast Heard as a co-star in “Aquaman 2,” and that the actress’ position in the future film, “Aquaman, the Lost Kingdom,” was not reduced.
“The amount of her film role was set early in the script development process, which would have occurred in 2018.” The movie was created around the characters of Arthur and Orm from the beginning of the script creation process. Orm is Patrick Wilson, while Arthur is Jason Momoa. They were always the film’s protagonists.”
Amber Heard testified that she feels her role in “Aquaman 2” has been decreased, and that she “had to struggle even to be in the film,” which is currently in post-production and will be released in 2023.
