Well, how about that! A superhero movie rumor that’s actually true! What, was there a blood moon this weekend or something?
In part of her wild, wide-ranging testimony on Monday, Amber Heard confirmed a bit of news that came out a couple weeks ago. Inside sources had claimed that while the change.org petition to fire Amber from Aquaman 2 due to her “many incidents of domestic abuse” against Johnny Depp had not worked, it very nearly did.
Amber first explained how it was difficult for her to even score the role in 2017’s Justice League because of negative press against her due to the divorce. But she did get it, and it was a three-picture deal in which she got paid a lot more money each time. She got $1 million for Aquaman and $2 mil for Aquaman 2.

But she nearly didn’t get that sequel money. She told the court she “fought really hard to stay in the movie” because the company “didn’t want to include me in the film.” She went on to say what was left of her role was “a very pared down version”:
Wow. It sounds like YouTube film journalist Grace Randolph, who broke the story, was right! She said her source told her Mera had “less than 10 min of screentime” in the anticipated sequel. (As we understand it she’s still getting the $2 mil for that 10 mins tho…)
Of course, Amber doesn’t think it was because of the public deciding for themselves that she was abusive based on the evidence. No, she still blames the so-called “smear campaign” by Johnny’s legal team, citing specifically her ex’s UK libel trial attorney Adam Waldman straight-up calling her abuse claims a “hoax” in 2020, saying she was weaponizing the #MeToo movement by using “fake sexual violence
