There have been widespread rumors suggesting that Jason Momoa had a desire to see Amber Heard replaced in the role of Mera in the Aquaman franchise. Some reports even claimed that director James Wan also wanted her fired. However, despite all the speculations, Amber Heard remains a part of the DC Extended Universe.
Recently, unsealed documents have revealed that Jason Momoa would purposely “torment” Amber Heard by dressing up as her ex-husband Johnny Depp on the film sets. These bombshell details have surprised many fans.
Previously, there were rumors that Amber Heard’s role in Aquaman 2 would be reduced due to petitions demanding her removal following the outcome of Johnny Depp’s defamation trial. Imaginary artworks featuring Blake Lively and Emilia Clarke as Mera have gone viral online. However, Warner Bros has chosen to support Amber Heard by keeping her in the film.
A report from We Got This Covered cited notes from Dr. Dawn Hughes, Amber Heard’s psychologist, which claimed that both Jason Momoa and James Wan wanted the actress to be fired. According to the report, Momoa would even come to the set dressed as Johnny Depp, aiming to make Amber Heard’s life miserable.
It is worth noting, however, that only Zack Snyder displayed support for Amber Heard. His wife and producing partner, Deborah, also stood by her side. The court documents shared on Reddit by Fauxmoi have garnered empathy from several fans who sympathize with the actress.
One Reddit user expressed their hopes for Amber Heard, saying, “I hope she’s living somewhere peaceful with her child and doesn’t have internet. She’s more than earned a quiet, happy life after all this. Every time new information comes out about what she went through, it gets worse.”
Another comment highlighted the immense amount of hate directed towards Amber Heard, stating, “It’s unbelievable the amount of hate she got from every angle. And people wonder why women don’t come forward with abuse. It’s like a life sentence of harassment.”
Regarding the revelation that Jason Momoa dressed up as Johnny Depp on set, one commenter exclaimed, “A coworker coming to work dressed as your abusive ex is CRAZY. That would be my 13th reason why!”
There was also concern about Jason Momoa’s behavior, with another user questioning, “Does that say ‘Jason drunk’ on set as well as dressing up like Johnny? This is terrible…”
Meanwhile, in response to the news that Amber Heard’s role might be reduced in Aquaman 2, James Wan clarified that the sequel’s theme would focus on a bromance rather than a romantic relationship, distinguishing it from the first installment.
