Amber Heard was almost dropped from "Aquaman 2" due to a lack of chemistry with co-star Jason Momoa, a Warner Bros. executive testified at Johnny Depp's defamation trial against his ex-wife.
Warner Bros Wins Auction For Jason Momoa Murder Mystery Action Project From ‘Eternals’ Scribes Ryan & Kaz Firpo
05.05.2022 - 22:57 / deadline.com
EXCLUSIVE: We hear on very good authority that Warner Bros. has taken a Jason Momoa project off the table after an intense bidding war, tentatively titled The Executioner.
The project, which has a storyline under wraps, is from The Eternals scribes Kaz and Ryan Firpo and is billed as a fun action murder mystery in the spirit of Knives Out meets Lord of the Rings. No director attached as of yet.
The project puts Momoa back in business with his Aquaman producer Peter Safran, who is producing the Firpo scripted feature project. Warner Bros. EVP Jesse Eherman is steering the feature at the Burbank, CA lot.
Safran is a force behind Warner Bros. lucrative franchises including the $2 billion grossing Conjuring movies and DC fare, i.e. The Suicide Squad, its spinoff DC/HBO Max’s hit series The Peacemaker, as well as the Shazam! and Aquaman franchises. Last week Warner Bros. showed off trailers for the upcoming Christmas tentpole Shazam! Fury of the Gods (Dec. 21) and next year’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (March 17, 2023). To date, Aquaman remains the highest grossing DC movie of all-time with $1.1 billion worldwide.
Marvel’s Eternals grossed over $402M WW and was a highly watched movie on Disney+. The Firpos also wrote the movie Ruin which has Margot Robbie attached to star alongside Matthias Schoenaerts, with Justin Kurzel directing. That pic follows a nameless ex-Nazi captain who navigates the ruins of post-WWII Germany determined to atone for his crimes during the war by hunting down the surviving members of his former SS Death Squad.
Momoa is repped by WME and Edelstein, Laird & Sobel. The Firpos are repped by CAA, LBI Entertainment and Miles Metcoff.

Warner Bros. Exec Testifies That Amber Heard Was Almost Replaced On ‘Aquaman 2’
While the media circus feeding frenzy around the Johnny Depp defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard continues—it’s rather gross and misogynistic, with a lot of people telling on themselves—the unfortunate clickbait fodder around it is that some actual news is made within the walls of something that should probably be private. Heard is also seeking $100 million in a defamation counterclaim against Depp.
