A Petition to remove Amber Heard from Aquaman 2 has almost reached 3 million signatures

Johnny Depp fans can’t wait to cancel Amber Heard amid his ongoing defamation suit involving his ex-wife.

HEARD AND DEPP

A petition calling for the actress to be dropped from Aquaman 2 has nearly reached the 3 million signatures mark on a change.org petition.

The campaign’s goal is 3 million signatures, which fans hope is the milestone that Heard will be prevented from reprising her role as Princess Mera in the superhero sequel.

HEARD AS PRINCESS MERA

Right now the petition needs under 100,000 signatures to hit the golden number.

The creator of the petition says she made the campaign because she believes allegations that Heard had “been exposed as a domestic abuser” by the Pirates of the Caribbean star.

“Men are victims of domestic abuse, just like women. This must be recognized, and action must be taken to prevent a known abuser from being celebrated within the entertainment industry.”

Jeanne Larson, creator of petition writes.

Fans also view the petition as payback for Depp being dropped by Disney in his role as Captain Jack Sparrow after Heard accused him of abuse.

Heard wrapped filming in January this year and is still scheduled to appear in the DC flick, which is slated for a March 2023 release.

Netflix Introduces Changes to Subscription Model, Academy Award Nominations Spark Cinematic Buzz, and the Doomsday Clock Continues its Ominous Ticking.

Netflix is set to discontinue its ad-free Basic subscription in select countries, commencing with Canada and the UK in Q2 2024.

This strategic shift introduces a significant price increase for the baseline entry, signalling potential adjustments to Netflix’s global pricing structure.

Simultaneously, the 96th edition of the Academy Award nominations has stirred cinematic debates, with the prevailing question being whether the upcoming season will be dominated by “Barbie” or “Oppenheimer.” These contrasting narratives set the stage for a fierce competition, highlighting the diverse and compelling offerings in this year’s film industry.

Beyond the realm of entertainment, the Doomsday Clock, a symbolic representation of the likelihood of a human-made global catastrophe, continues its ominous countdown.

Maintained since 1947 by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the clock serves as a metaphor for threats arising from unchecked scientific and technological advances. As global tensions, environmental challenges, and technological risks persist, the ticking of the Doomsday Clock serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need to address multifaceted threats to humanity.

Adidas faces potential $320M Yeezy shoe write-off post-Kanye split

Published

Adidas is contemplating a significant financial blow as it considers writing off $320 million worth of Yeezy shoes following its separation from music and fashion icon Kanye West.

The sportswear giant’s decision to sever ties with West’s Yeezy brand has left a mountain of unsold merchandise, threatening to dent the company’s balance sheet.

The partnership between Adidas and Kanye West, which began in 2013, had been immensely successful, with Yeezy shoes becoming a highly sought-after fashion statement.

However, recent controversies and disagreements between West and Adidas prompted the sportswear company to distance itself from the celebrity designer.

The massive inventory of Yeezy shoes now presents a dilemma for Adidas, as it grapples with finding a solution to deal with the surplus stock. A $320 million write-off could significantly impact the company’s financial performance in the short term.

Adidas is currently exploring various options, including discounting, donating, or repurposing the unsold inventory to mitigate the financial hit.
