What’s Going On With Amber Heard In Aquaman 2?

:0:0

Summary

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom's first trailer focuses more on Arthur Curry's family and his alliance with Orm, leaving little room for Mera's involvement.
Director James Wan intended for the sequel to be a "bromance" between Arthur and Orm, shifting the focus away from Arthur and Mera's romantic relationship.
Amber Heard's reduced role as Mera may not be due to the Johnny Depp court case, as filming for the sequel wrapped before the trial began.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom's first trailer barely features Amber Heard as Mera, the chief love interest of the titular hero Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa). This has likely created some confusion as to why she's not more prominently featured and what her role might be in the upcoming DCEU sequel. However, there's likely a collection of factors behind Heard hardly being seen in the new movie's initial promotion.
In the first Aquaman movie from Warner Bros and DC Studios, Arthur Curry and Mera reunited after briefly interacting in 2017's Justice League. Working together to stop Arthur's half-brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) from conquering the surface world, Mera and Arthur went on a journey to recover the Trident of Atlan which Arthur used to unite the Seven Kingdoms as its new king. To that end, the new trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom implies that Aquaman and Mera took their relationship further, even though Mera herself is barely in the trailer. Here is what's likely going on with Mera and actress Amber Heard in Aquaman 2.
