Petition To Remove Amber Heard From Aquaman 2 Is Blowing Up (Game Rant)

The backlash against Amber Heard by Aquaman fans is increasing amid the very public trial involving her and her ex-husband, Johnny Depp.

Despite the fact that the actress has filed a $100 million countersuit, Depp has alleged that he was in fact the victim of abuse at the hands of Heard and it appears there is a growing number of fans who believe his side of things. In order to show their support for Depp, fans have started a Change.org petition asking that Amber Heard be removed from Aquaman 2. It appears that Aquaman fans would rather not see Amber Heard make an appearance in the first film's sequel.

Here's Why Aquaman Is Suddenly At The Center Of Johnny Depp's ... (Looper)

Actor Johnny Depp's ongoing defamation case against ex-wife and fellow actor Amber Heard brought up Heard's film "Aquaman" in the court proceedings.

On Thursday, the ACLU's COO and general counsel Terence Dougherty spoke about Weitz's comments in a video deposition offered up by Depp's lawyers. Depp's legal team is attempting to prove that Heard caused harm to his reputation and career — prompting him to be ousted by Disney as Captain Jack Sparrow — after making domestic abuse claims in a December 2018 Washington Post article. Speaking in an email from Dec. 11, 2018 — which was read in court by Johnny Depp's lawyers — the ACLU's director of artist engagement Jessica Weitz claimed that the release of Amber Heard's op-ed in the Washington Post was purposely timed to capitalize on the December 21, 2018, release of "Aquaman" (via Variety). The ACLU was said to have been involved in the writing and publication of the article.

Aquaman 2 Rumored To Introduce Arthur Curry & Mera's Child (Screen Rant)

One important character is Arthur Curry Jr., aka Aquababy, who is the son of Aquaman and Mera in the comics. Before Batman and Superman received sons in the ...

This could indicate that she is absent for the main action of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom because she will be serving a B plot, or in place of killing Aquababy, it is Mera who will die in the sequel leaving Arthur to save his son and raise him as a solo father. Black Manta blames Aquaman for the death of his father, so threatening the King of Atlantis' child is a way to get back at the hero. Before Batman and Superman received sons in the comics, Aquaman was one of the first DC superheroes to have a child, as Aqaubaby was introduced in Aquaman #23 in 1965. This news should be taken with a grain of salt however since Warner Bros. has not confirmed the report. In 2020 as part of the Future State initiative, DC recently introduced Aquaman and Mera's daughter, Princess Andrina 'Andy' Curry, who goes by the name Aquawoman. The sequel is set for release on March 17, 2023.

Aquaman 2 Introduces Major DC Character, Amber Heard Mera's ... (Fandomwire)

A reputed source claims Aquaman 2 will feature the son of Amber Heard's Mera and Jason Momoa's Arthur Curry - Arthur Curry Jr.

But for now, Mera and Arthur Curry are having a child and Arthur Curry Jr. coming to the DCEU is confirmed. The new DCEU movie will be showing us a teenage version of Arthur Curry Jr. To be honest, we will not go so far as to say that Arthur Curry Jr. will be just like how the character is in the comic books. But from the looks of it, Arthur Curry Jr. will have a significant contribution to the primary storyline. The Atlantean royal family in the DC Universe does not just start and end with Aquaman and Mera. In DC Comics, Arthur and Mera have a son that goes by the name of Arthur Curry Jr. And that is exactly what Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom intends to do. Atlantis is coming back to the DC Extended Universe. James Wan’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will bring back the mythical kingdom to the big screens.

Amber Heard Reportedly Featured in 'Aquaman 2' for Less Than 10 ... (TMZ)

The Johnny Depp trial might, in fact, be having real-world ramifications for Amber Heard -- who's rumored to have a significantly smaller role in the new ...

With that said, fans of Johnny -- of which there are many amid this trial -- are probably giddy to hear this rumor. She was a huge part of the first film -- Jason's love interest -- and yet ... crickets. The question ... is the trial actually affecting things??? As you might know, there's an unofficial petition going around calling for her to be recast in 'Aquaman 2,' and it's already got 2 mil-plus signatures. In any case ... it's interesting this news is surfacing now. Fact is ... us normies will never know for sure, unless someone higher up spills the beans. The 'Aquaman' sequel has been in the works for a long time -- and Amber was announced as reprising her role from the get-go. Of course, the film itself has also been bumped schedule-wise -- it was originally supposed to be released around the holidays this year ... but Warner Bros. pushed it back to March, citing COVID-related production delays. BTW, Amber herself also doesn't seem to have been doing much, if any, promo for 'Aquaman 2.' Most of her IG activity centers around her personal life ... except for a snap in October, when she posted a photo of herself in signature Mera red hair, simply writing ... "Red-dy." According to film journalist Grace Randolph -- who's known to get solid comic book movie scoops like this -- Amber will, apparently, be featured in less than 10 minutes of screen time in "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom." Amber Heard's career may already be suffering because of Johnny Depp's trial -- she reportedly has a significantly smaller role in 'Aquaman 2' ... amounting to mere minutes.
