Amber Heard was removed from the trailer of the new "Aquaman" (6 photos + 3 videos)
The trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was released recently. However, fans did not fail to notice that one of the main characters, Queen Meru, played by Amber Heard, was cut out of the teaser. Is the actress's scandalous divorce from Johnny Depp to blame?
Amber Heard fans are disappointed with the new Akamen trailer
In the first film of 2018, Amber played the role of the daughter of King Nereus. Her heroine can control water with her mind and telepathically communicate with other Atlanteans, and also becomes the wife of Aquaman, the main character of the film, played by Jason Momoa.
Heard was the on-screen wife of Jason Momoa, who plays Aquaman.
The new trailer begins with Jason's voiceover announcing that Aquaman has embraced fatherhood.
However, the half-human, half-Atlantean, whose real name is Arthur Curry, will have to take a break from his fatherly duties. He will become the king of Atlantis and will fight a new squad of villains.
Nicole Kidman will reprise her role as Atlanna, Arthur's mother and former queen of Atlantis.
The 37-year-old star made a brief appearance in the first Aquaman 2 trailer, which was released in September.
The film's director, James Wan, suppressed accusations that Amber's role was cut due to the lawsuit with Johnny Depp.
He told Entertainment Weekly: "I've been saying this from the beginning. The first Aquaman is an adventure between Arthur and Mera, a kind of romantic action movie. The second film is focused on Arthur and Orm, it's more about brotherly feelings."
They tried to avoid Amber on the set due to a high-profile legal battle with Johnny Depp
Fans of Johnny Depp have paid legal fees for the release of notes from Amber Heard's psychotherapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes. The obtained recordings describe an unfavorable situation on the set of “Aquaman”: a drunken Jason Momoa mocked Heard, deliberately wearing clothes in the same style as Depp. In addition, the leading actor insisted on Heard's dismissal.
“Jason said he wanted me fired,” the actress admitted.
A DC spokesperson "rebutted Amber's characterization," saying, "Jason Momoa conducted himself professionally on the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom."
The actress also shared in a conversation with a psychotherapist that she was let down by director James Wan.
Dawn's notes say: "He raised his voice at me, said he couldn't even write about Aquaman. Acted like it was my fault. I apologized."
Noticing the actress's absence from the new trailer, one fan wrote: "What a shame that men feel threatened by a beautiful, talented woman!"
A second noted: "Because Amber Heard lost a libel suit against a man who didn't deny she was abused, but was simply against it being made public, she is now being written out of the movie she's in." key role."
