REVEALED – Is Amber Heard getting recast in Aquaman 2?

Published

on

Aquaman proved to be DC’s most successful solo movie ever, but there are doubts over the sequel due to Amber Heard’s Hollywood scandal with ex-Johnny Depp

According to an exclusive report from Just Jared, Amber Heard will be cut from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Warner Bros. just recently held a test screening for the move gave Heard’s Mera an extended screen time of 20-25 minutes.

It’s safe to say fans weren’t happy with the news.

The insider says Warner Bros. will be conducting reshoots for the sequel with Jason Mamoa and Nicole Kidman, with Heard being recast as Mera for Aquaman 2 and future appearances.

But Amber Heard’s rep has slammed the claims

“The rumor mill continues as it has from day one — inaccurate, insensitive, and slightly insane,” a spokesperson for Heard tells PEOPLE magazine in response to the report.

DC Films President previously testified in Heard’s defamation trial against Johnny Depp that the studio had conversations about recasting the actress. 

The news of a reported recast comes after a viral boycott of Aquaman 2 began to spread over social media due to backlash towards Heard.

Now the question is – who will replace Heard if there was to be a recast?

Well that’s all up in the air, but going off the assumption that DC will be looking for an actress of similar age to the 36-year-old Heard, some popular choices among fans have included Blake Lively and upcoming star Emilia Clarke.

Aquaman 2 is set for the screens early next year.

In Short:
– Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, risking global tensions and retaliation from other nations.
– Proliferation concerns are rising as nuclear states modernise arsenals and the New START Treaty nears expiration.
US President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing immediately, aiming to align with testing programs from other countries according to the conversation.Resuming explosive nuclear tests would likely trigger retaliatory responses from nuclear-armed nations like Russia and China, worsening the arms race and increasing global risks.

The potential for worldwide radioactive fallout remains high, even for underground tests. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by 187 states, prohibits such testing, yet the US remains a signatory without ratification, bound not to violate the treaty’s intent.

Nuclear weapon testing, once crucial for understanding weapon effects and military planning, has diminished. Since World War II, nuclear tests have largely focused on developing new designs. Significant environmental and health concerns led to a moratorium on atmospheric testing in the early 1960s and the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963.

Many countries, including the US, stopped explosive testing in the 1990s. Technological advancements allowed nations to develop nuclear weapons without the need for actual explosions.

Proliferation Risks

Nuclear proliferation continues, with all nine nuclear-armed states investing heavily in modernising their arsenals. This raises concerns about lowered thresholds for using such weapons.

Recent conflicts involving nuclear threats have escalated, and the number of nuclear weapons operationally available has begun to rise again. Russia has tested advanced nuclear weapons, while China is rapidly expanding its military capabilities.

The New START Treaty, which confines the nuclear capabilities of the US and Russia, is set to expire soon, with no successor treaty negotiations underway.

The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight this year, highlighting the heightened dangers facing the world today.
