Part 4/8:
The Controversy Behind Amber Heard's Exclusion
The decision to minimize or outright remove Heard from Aquaman 2 is believed to be tied to the controversy surrounding her and Johnny Depp. After the high-profile legal battles and allegations, Heard’s reputation has taken a significant hit, and her relationship with Warner Bros. appears strained.
Reports suggest that her role was reduced following the scandals, with many involved in the film’s production displeased with her involvement. Fans may recall that her initial appearance in promotional material was minimal—just a single shot in the first trailer—and now it’s been completely cut out, as if she were a non-entity within the movie.
