JAKARTA - Amber Heard returns to acting through her latest film, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. She still plays the character of Mera, who is the wife of Arthur Curry, played by Jason Momoa.
Aquaman 2 has been showing in theaters since December 20, 2023. However, Heard has only opened his voice about his role in the film recently. He thanked fans who sent support to him.
"After all this time, Aquaman 2 made the splash (sorry, too easy)," wrote Amber Heard in her latest post.
"Thanks to all the fans for their extraordinary support and love for Mera's return. Thank you very much," he concluded.
Amber Heard first played Mera in the film Justice League in 2017. She played Mera again in Aquaman's first film which was released in 2018 and directed by James Wan.
Before the sequel was released, not a few suspected that Mera's appearance or screen time would be very small. This is because she underwent a defamation trial with her ex-husband, Johnny Depp.
However, none of that was proven because Mera's appearance in the film still had sufficient portions. James Wan instead of answering the controversy, he chose to explain that the focus on the Aquaman sequel was not on Arthur and Mera.

Heard's name is also included in the petition asking Heard to be released from Aquaman 2 which was made public and reached 1.5 million signatures. They want Heard to suffer the same fate as Johnny Depp which was removed from the production of Fantastic Beasts 3.
I've talked about this to everyone. The first Aquaman is about Arthur and Mera's journey. The second film is about Arthur and Orm. So first is the action adventure romance film, both are adventure action movie, "explained James Wan quoting EW.
On the other hand, in the trial, Amber Heard said the case had an impact on reducing Mera's portion in its sequel.
I was given a script and there was a new version of it that took a lot of action scenes in it, it was related to my character other characters - without giving spoilers - two characters fighting with other characters, and they revoked the portion of my role. They deleted it a lot," Amber Heard said.
