Amber Heard revealed that she’s unsure if she’ll make the final cut of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

The defamation trial between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is still ongoing, and throughout this week, Heard continues to take the stand to testify against her ex-husband. Now, one of the major stories from the ongoing trial involves her role as Mera in the DC Extended Universe, particularly when it comes to the upcoming sequel, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

On May 17, 2022, Amber Heard testified that she was initially released from her contract prior to filming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. During the trial, she stated as follows regarding her role in the DCEU:

“They released me from my contract. And, I fought to stay in it, and they kept me in it; I just don’t know how much I’m in, actually, of the final cut… I don’t know if I will even be in the final cut or how much I will be. It was difficult to stay in the movie.”

What could Amber Heard’s future as Mera after Aquaman 2 look like?

This development from the trial continues to hint at a significantly smaller role for Amber Heard’s Mera compared to her sizable role in James Wan’s 2018 film, in which she received second billing behind Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa. Based on the synopsis and from what was announced during CinemaCon recently, it appears that the relationship between Momoa’s Arthur Curry and Patrick Wilson’s Orm Marius/Ocean Master will be focused on more.
