A behind-the-scenes photo from James Wan’s Aquaman has surfaced online, giving fans an incredible look at Amber Heard as Mera for the DC Comics movie.
After her brief introduction in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Amber Heard took center stage with Jason Momoa in Aquaman. Amber Heard led Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry on a journey to the Kingdom of Atlantis and beyond in the swashbuckling action-adventure, guiding the reluctant hero on his quest for the Trident of Atlan, and helping him accept his role as the King of Atlantis. Ultimately, Amber Heard’s Mera proved to be key to Aquaman’s success in stopping his villainous half-brother Orm (played by Patrick Wilson) from waging a war on the surface world.
For her role as Mera, Amber Heard trained under the guidance of Li Jing Wushu, one of the world’s leading female martial arts experts and top Hollywood stunt performers. The actress trained rigorously for four to five times a week. The workouts were handled with ease due to Amber Heard’s dedication, with one of her trainers calling her a “true athlete.”

An Aquaman sequel is currently in development at Warner Brothers, with Amber Heard expected to return as Mera. Scheduled to be released in theaters on December 16, 2022, Aquaman 2 is being written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, one of the writers behind the hero’s first cinematic solo outing. James Wan is expected to return to the director’s chair after he completes a horror project for New Line Cinema.
Amber Heard made her debut as Mera in Zack Snyder’s DC Comics team-up movie Justice League before reprising the role in Aquaman, which was directed by James Wan. Aquaman earned $1.147 billion at the worldwide box office, a figure that makes it highest-grossing DC Comics movie of all time.
