Despite a report that Amber Heard was fired from her role as Mera in “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” sources report that she has not been cut from the movie.
A spokesperson for Heard said in a statement that, “The rumour mill continues as it has from day one — inaccurate, insensitive and slightly insane.”
Heard previously played the key role of Mera in the first “Aquaman,” as well as appearing in “Justice League” and the reconfigured “Zack Snyder’s Justice League.”
Heard’s star power has been muddied in recent months due to a very public defamation trial, in which her ex-husband Johnny Depp sued her for a 2018 Washington Post column which he said implied that he was physically abusive to her.
The verdict left Heard ordered to pay Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages, given that the jury decided his reputation and career had been damaged as a result of the publication.
