New details on Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom confirm that there are numerous scenes cut from chapter 2
In the sequel protagonist Jason Momoa he should have seen Amber Heard’s Mera at his side again. But the actress, involved in the well-known judicial issues, has repeatedly denounced her reduced role in the second DC chapter, also talking about some scenes removed from the final cut. According to what emerged in a recent report reported by Variety, it seems that this is indeed the case. Not only did the actress almost get fired, but she had to do without two scenes in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom: Amber Heard almost fired and twenty scenes cut from chapter 2
As reported by Variety, the actress would even have risked being fired from the project, avoided thanks to the intervention of her ex Elon Musk. After the release of Aquaman in 2018, the studio and Jason Wan apparently decided to exclude the actress from the sequel due to her lack of chemistry with Momoa and sent a letter to her lawyer, Karl Austen, informing him of her decision. In the end, the studio never pulled the trigger on firing Heard because her ex-boyfriend, Elon Musk, had asked one of his lawyers to send a letter to Warner Bros. threatening to burn down the studio if the actress didn’t had been included.
However, all this did not prevent the cutting of two scenes with Amber Heard as the protagonist: an action scene with Mera fighting against Black Manta and another more romantic one that points to a romantic interaction with Arthur. Previously, director James Wan had justified the reduced role of Mera by explaining that this sequel had to tell more than the bromance, and on the other hand it is certain that there are many more deleted scenes in general: there is talk of around twenty curtains, which could be part of an extended cut. The fact is that the suspicion that Amber Heard’s extracurricular events had an influence is great.
