Aquaman 2: Producer stated that the pressure from fans to remove Amber Heard from Sequel has no effect

Aquaman 2 producer Peter Safran stated that the pressure from fans to remove Amber Heard from the movie had no effect. Justice League 2017. She repeated her role in HBO Max’s James Wan’s Aquaman (2018) and Zach Snyder’s Justice League. Heard is expected to return as Princess Xebellian in the upcoming sequel of Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom, with Jason Momoa as the main character. Put into production, it should appear in December 2022.
During the public quarrel between Hurd and ex-husband Johnny Depp, the latter went to Warner Bros. Fantastic Beasts 3. Both Hurd and Depp accused each other of physically and verbally abusing him during their relationship. Depp’s departure from the franchise of “Fantastic Beasts” has led many people to believe that WB should also sever ties with Hurd. Before the production, there were rumors that Hilde was also fired. As a fan petition with more than one million signatures, asking them to be removed from Aquaman 2.

When recently appearing in Deadline’s Hero Nation to promote the suicide squad, Aquaman 2 producer Safran confirmed that Hurd will return as Mera in the sequel. It is said that the people behind DCEU will not “submit” the pressure of fans. Read what he said next:
“I think we will never respond to public pressure from fans. You have to do your best for this movie. In our opinion, if this is James Wan and Jason Momoa, it must be Amber Heard.This is really…you are no stranger to what happened in the Twitterverse, but that doesn’t mean you have to respond, understand it as a gospel, or agree with their wishes. You must do the right thing. The social media campaign that said they were fired “has no real foundation.
Whether reality or not, it is undeniable that social media campaigns and public opinion influence decision-making in the entertainment industry. The studio told Depp not to step down because of any crimes or special things, “but due to fear of the negative news brought by Fantastic Beasts 3, WB was unable to cancel Depp’s contract and still had to pay him about 10 million US dollars. It seems that May be the same as Heard-related contract issues-the actor may be fired due to fewer requests for the virus. Criminal or civil charges are actually speculation in public opinion. However, his relationship with Aquaman 2 has been and may continue to receive negative press coverage “” WB / DC Films is not particularly creative in its approach to DCEU. It can be said that removing Hurd from the Aquaman series will directly contradict Depp’s decision. Although it might make sense to sever ties with Depp and Hurd in the early days, it is too late now, which is good news for Hurd fans. It is worth noting that Safran is only in the “Aquaman” series and “Shazan! “, “Suicide Squad”, “Peacemaker” (2022) and “Shazam! Wrath of the Gods (2023), all projects (hope) are part of DCEU’s bright or dark future.
