Amber Heard lied in court, "Aquaman 2" was heavily affected

The "slander" phase from Amber Heard's witness and a series of negative rumors directly affected the blockbuster Aquaman 2. This project has been rescheduled for release from December 16 to March 17, 2023 but according to the release date. Variety is not a sure date yet because the studio may continue to change if the film is still affected by the Johnny Depp couple's lawsuit.

Movie content revealed

During the first session on May 23 (US time), Heard invited Kathryn Arnold - a Hollywood entertainment consultant - to be a witness via video. It is not yet certain whether Arnold's testimony will help Heard strengthen his argument against Depp, but it will affect the blockbuster Aquaman 2 in the immediate future.

In the testimony, the expert accidentally revealed the upcoming movie's content when he said: "The character Mera will appear at the beginning of the movie when she is hospitalized and gives birth and the ending scene. All segments interact with males. main and other action scenes were removed".

Arnold noted that the editing studio decided to cut out the epic fight scene in act three, which is arguably Heard's best feature, without giving a reason.

According to Variety, the act of disclosing content before the film is released, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is also taboo. Heard and her witness made a mistake and Warnes Bros. must stand up and "bear the battle". The studio may consider changing the film's content or PR campaign to maintain the attraction for the blockbuster.

After Kathryn Arnold's speech, on May 24, Depp invited Walter Hamada - President of DC Films - to confront. Mr. Hamada asserted that the producer considered cutting Heard's role not because of the lawsuit controversy with her ex-husband, but because she performed poorly.

Speaking to Fox News, the legal expert confirmed that Hamada's testimony proved Heard was lying. Because before that, she said that she almost lost the role of Princess Mera because she "got into a fuss with Depp".

Sharing more clearly before the jury, the leader of DC Films said that Heard did not interact well and lacked emotional response to Jason Momoa. Therefore, the post-production team had a hard time editing the intimate scenes of the two actors.

"They don't have much emotional reaction to each other. Basically, Jason and Amber can make the relationship successful from the first movie, but they need to put in a lot of effort to get good results," Hamada emphasized.

Faced with this situation, Warner Bros. accepted to spend a few weeks considering removing Heard's name, finding a new face to replace. However, Heard ended up staying.

"I fought hard to be able to continue in the movie. They (Warner Bros.) didn't want to put me in the movie. The new script was edited, removed my action scenes. Basically, they eliminated a lot of my role," Heard said during the previous trial.

Adverse rumors

While the lawsuit between Depp and Heard is still tense in the court of Fairfax, Virginia, USA, the executives of DC Films, Warner Bros. and Aquaman 2 producers are busy dealing with the negative effects on the film and its cast.

The leader of DC Films was like "sitting on a fire" when he was repeatedly attacked by Depp's ardent fans, pressuring him to erase Heard from the blockbuster movie. So in the end, President Walter Hamada had to agree to testify in court.

As of mid-May, more than 4 million people have signed an online petition to boycott Heard. This number is still increasing day by day. According to Variety, Heard and her legal team also admitted that the online campaign had dragged down the actress's career.

"Amber lost between $45 million and $50 million on film deals, couldn't work with studios for big movies because of her controversy with Johnny," entertainment industry expert Kathryn Arnold shared.

The Direct reported that Jason Momoa was also dragged into a co-star's lawsuit because he once pressed the button to follow Johnny Depp's Instagram account. This action caused Momoa to be said to be implicitly supporting the senior. And not to mention, the actor was also known for not interacting well with Heard on the set of Aquaman 2.

From the rumor of "disagreement" with Heard, Momoa was rekindled by the audience in the middle of a star couple in 2018.

Specifically, in an interview with Good Morning America, Heard said that Momoa "ripped the last pages of the book I was reading". Upon reading this information, readers of the Daily Mail criticized Momoa as childish and rude.

Until the trial on May 24, Chairman Walter Hamada could exonerate Momoa about conflicting rumors. "Jason and director James Wan are determined to keep Amber Heard on," the DC Films executive said.

Depp - Heard - Aquaman are all damaged after the lawsuit

The trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is gradually coming to an end. The fact that Kate Moss went to court and sided with Depp was considered a "fatal blow" to Heard and the legal team.

After being mentioned twice by Amber Heard, Kate Moss accepted to testify at home. After raising her hand to swear, the British supermodel confirmed that she had never been abused by Johnny Depp as Amber Heard testified in court.

"When we left the room, it was raining. Johnny stepped in front of me. I followed him and slipped down the stairs and my back hurt terribly," Moss recalls of the moment they both vacationed at the Golden Eye. , Jamaica.

This testimony completely contradicts what Amber Heard said in court. Previously, the Aquaman star said that she was told by a friend that Kate Moss was abused by Johnny Depp during their relationship.

By the end of the lawsuit, the advantage was in favor of Johnny Depp. But again, no matter who wins the $50 million lawsuit, no one really wins in this toxic relationship. There are even unrelated people involved, in which DC Film and Aquaman 2 are most directly and clearly influenced.
