Is Amber Heard in the film? Amber Heard has been confirmed as Momoa’s co-star. However, during her trial with Johnny Depp, Heard testified that she nearly lost her role in Aquaman due to the media firestorm surrounding her legal battles with Depp.

Director James Wan said the pitch for the upcoming 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' was for a 'bromance action-adventure movie' between Jason Momoa and Patrick Wilson, with Amber Heard taking a backseat. She said in court last year that her role was 'very pared down' amid drama with ex-husband Johnny Depp

Amber Heard's role as Mera in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has been reduced, according to director James Wan. The sequel will focus on the bromance between Arthur and Orm, rather than Arthur and Mera as in the first film.

For Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Heard said the studio behind the film, Warner Bros., "didn't want to include me." She also told the court that Warner Bros. "basically took a bunch out of my role." The high-profile court case between Heard and Depp ended in 2022, with Depp found to have defamed Heard. He was ordered to pay Heard $2 million.

The trailer has not yet been released to the public. In June, a rep for the actress denied reports that Heard, 37, had been cut from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, saying at the time, "The rumor mill continues as it has from day one — inaccurate, insensitive, and slightly insane."
