The ongoing legal wrangling between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard still seems to have a long way to go before there is any kind of resolution reached between the two parties, and now new documents seem to suggest that Heard is now bringing her upcoming appearance in ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ into the mix by attempting to keep it from being mentioned in the forthcoming trial. New documents shared on Twitter seem to show that Heard is trying to prevent her upcoming movie from being mentioned at all in court when she and Depp meet in their next round of legal face-offs.
‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ became a target for supporters of Depp, with Warner Bros. being petitioned by fans to drop Heard from the movie. While it seemed early on in development, the studio could be looking to recast the role of Mera, the part played by Heard in the first Aquaman movie, which she reprises in the sequel along with Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry/Aquaman, and a host of returning stars including Dolph Lundgren, Patrick Wilson and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
While it may not seem like an important point, for Depp to be able to talk about Heard’s ‘Aquaman’ role could provide him with evidence that delays to the production of the ‘Aquaman’ sequel were down to the allegations of abuse that he claimed against Heard and not the “creative issues” that Warner Bros. stated were the reasons behind the delays. As the additional shared documents seem to suggest, Depp very much wants to talk about Heard’s role in the superhero sequel, which is not surprising considering the position he found himself in on the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ sequel.
