Godt nok var det Amber Heard der i første omgang beskyldte eksmand Johnny Depp for overgreb og vold i en artikel for en del år siden, men den igangværende retsag har også kostet hende arbejde, og fremdrift i karrieren. Hun står dog stadig til at være en del af den kommende Aquaman 2: The Lost Kingdom, men det har været lige ved at hun er blevet erstattet.
Puck kan fortælle at selveste Walter Hamada fra Warner Bros. og DC Comics har været lige ved at skifte Heard ud i rollen som Hera.
"Amid the scandal, Warner Bros. initially declined to pick up Heard's option for Aquaman 2, I'm told, despite the first film grossing $1.1 billion. Walter Hamada, president of DC Films, sat for a three-hour deposition on this issue as part of the Depp case. (The depo is not public, but attorneys are planning to introduce it in the trial.) Hamada is said to have testified that Heard was initially not picked up because there were concerns about her chemistry with star Jason Momoa. Indeed, the duo have publicly referenced issues on set during the first film. But Heard's team believed the Depp scandal was the real cause of the reluctance."
Det lader dog til at Heard skal medvirke i sidste ende.
