After she shot all of her scenes in Aquaman two, Amber Heard got fired from the movie!
Did Jason Momoa have anything to do with it especially after he sided with Johnny?
And what was her reaction to the news?
As you must have heard, Johnny Depp has won the defamation case that he raised against
Amber Heard for her op-ed in The Washington Post.
The court proceedings will be broadcast on Court TV, and Depp is reportedly demanding
$50 million in damages from Heard.
Ms. Heard said in her application that Mr. Depp had been verbally and physically abusive
to her during their relationship, including a recent episode in which he pulled her hair
and aggressively forced her to the ground.
the jury decided in favor of Depp on all questions and in favor of Heard on only one.
Depp was granted $15 million in damages by the jury, with $10 million in compensatory
damages and $5 million in punitive damages.
However, his actual damages were cut to $10.35 million because punitive damages were automatically
reduced to $350,000 – the allowable limit under Virginia law.
And it was a huge loss for Amber.
Not only did she lose the case, but also she lost a big role in her career!
Those who hoped to see Mera recast will be disappointed to learn that Heard was almost
replaced for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, but was eventually dismissed from the role.
A petition on Change.org was made to advocate for Heard's dismissal from the Aquaman cast.
About 5 million people have signed the petition!
"Men, like women, are victims of domestic abuse," states the petition's description.
Referring to the recording played in court in which Amber threatened Johnny Depp of not
being believed by the mass because he’s a man: “tell the world johnny!
Tell the Jury I, Johnny Depp, a man, I too am a victim of domestic abuse!
See who’d side with you or believe you” said Heard
But is that the only reason Amber got fired from the movie?
Heard first appeared in 2017's "Justice League" as Mera, Aquaman's love interest, before starring
with star Jason Momoa in 2018's "Aquaman."
On the stand, the actress stated that she had a contract for three films: "Justice League,"
"Aquaman," and "Aquaman 2."
Heard had less than 10 minutes of screen time in the sequel, according to entertainment
journalist Grace Randolph, who reported it in late April.
According to the producers, and Walter Hamada the DC films head who testified in court,
there was a chemistry issue between Amber Heard and Jason Mamoa.
But in spite of that, Heard returned for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
And they chose to reduce her rule.
Amber had gone on interviews spreading the story of Jason Mamoa ripping off pages of
her book after she had ignored him completely many times on set.
“I love Jason, we had so much fun together…
but he is allergic to being ignored.
And I am a bookworm, I love to read, so whenever there’s a break on set I like to read.
So he quickly learned, he adopted this method of ripping out the pages of my book so I’d
pay attention to him.
It would drive me crazy cos I’d have 30 pages left and they’d be gone.”
she said
She went on to say that to avoid Jason's book-ripping attacks, the Aquaman crew even made a book
bag out of green screen material for Amber to bring her book on set and read in between
takes.
And that she felt terrible if someone went out of their way, but they could tell she
was going insane, “so wardrobe designed me a book bag," Amber stated in the interview.
“I could sling it over me and then I would just bring it around and pull out my book,”
she continued.
So according to her, Jason Mamoa, Aquaman, the star of Game of Thrones, would be really
angry that he would go all the way to make himself look like a monster and tare her book
in front of the crew just because Amber Heard was reading her book!
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense!
She then posted Jason Mamoa’s picture on Instagram photoshopping a snapshot of herself
and Momoa in the same frame, with her bare breast superimposed over his, on Instagram…
claiming to fight the rigorous nudity restrictions and gender norms of IG!
And that has left the mind wondering; why Jason Mamoa’s picture?
Why not anybody else?
Other than all of that, the rumors have been spreading about Amber Heard being the reason
behind Jason Mamoa’s divorce from the love of his life, Lisa Bonet.
Especially since his divorce happened right after the shooting of Aquaman 2!
And especially that Jason Mamoa has followed Johnny Depp on Instagram amid the first few
days of the trial, leaving fans speculating that it’s more than just a lack of chemistry
with his co-star!
There were rumors that Momoa would support Amber, but Depp admirers point out that
Momoa only recently began following the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actress on Instagram, and
she did so after the Depp vs Heard court dispute began.
This, they believe, is a clear indication of Momoa's backing for Depp.
Despite all of these conflicts, The actress tried her best to negotiate a raise.
however, she was unable to negotiate a fee rise because of the ongoing scandal and legal
concerns between herself and Johnny Depp, according to the article.
Heard also alleges that she has been unable to book any high-profile parts outside of
the Aquaman series, which she attributes to the ongoing court fights, according to the
newspaper, with "professional testimony" backing up her allegation
"They released me from my contract.
I fought to stay in it and they kept me in it," On the stand during her ongoing defamation
trial with her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, Heard revealed on Tuesday.
"I just don't know how much I'm in, actually, of the final cut," Heard added.
During the trial, When queried about her role in the film a few minutes later, the actress
answered, "As I said, I don't know if I will even be in the final cut or how much I will
be.
It was difficult to stay in the movie."
Insider reached out to Warner Bros. for comment on Heard's role in the next picture, but no
one responded right away.
Heard earlier stated that a new draft for 'Aquaman 2' deleted several action scenes
for her character.
Heard claimed on Monday that she "worked really hard to stay in the movie" despite the fact
that others did not want her to be in it.
The actress revealed that she filmed "a very pared-down version" of her character for "Aquaman
and the Lost Kingdom."
"I was given a script and then given new versions of the script that had taken away scenes that
had action in it that depicted my character and another character — without giving any
spoilers away — two characters fighting with one another," Heard explained.
"They basically took a bunch out of my role.
They just removed a bunch out."
During the trial, a long-running Change.org petition to remove Heard from the "Aquaman"
sequel had surpassed 4.2 million signatures.
Peter Safran, the film's producer, told Deadline in July 2021 that "fan pressure" would have
no bearing on the decision to terminate Heard.
Amber didn’t get the support from the producers or from the mass around the world…and she
certainly didn’t get it from her Co-star either.
"Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" will be released in theaters in March 2023 for all of us to
see how many minutes she’ll end up getting.
A twitter user wrote: “I will never watch anything that has Amber
Heard in it, WB has any chance of Auqaman 2 surviving, Amber needs to be completely
out of it.”
Afan of Aquaman tweeted: i hate amber heard so much not only for the
things she did to johnny depp but ruining auqaman for me as well like i tried watching

#DeppVsHeard
A lot of Aquaman fans took her acting skills on the court as proof that Johnny Depp has
definitly had something to do with getting her the role as he stated in his testimony.
A fan tweeted posting a GIF of “pretends to be shocked”:
