Part 2/10:
The Shadow of Drama and Rumors
From early on, Aquaman 2 was clouded by rumors of extensive reshoots and behind-the-scenes conflict. Stories circulated about significant edits and the removal of actress Amber Heard, particularly her character’s role, with reports suggesting she was cut down considerably. However, Warner Brothers and director James Wan publicly denied these claims, asserting that the film only underwent a minimal seven or eight days of re-shoots. Wan insisted that there was no major overhaul or intention to diminish Heard's part in the film, aiming to reassure fans and stakeholders alike.
