    They can’t be recasting with Nicole Kidman…. Kidman played Aquaman’s mother in the first movie… now she’s supposed to play his love interest in this one? No way….

    1. Mike J.

      I was thinking that same thing!! That cannot be right lol

    2. Victor Nazarian

      Don’t re-cast the character. Write her out of the script. She was weak anyway. Bring in another, stronger character played by much better actress Gina Carano.

      1. Hol

        Recast Heard with another actress surrounded by controversy. Doesn’t seem like the best plan. Lol

        1. Linda

          I’m so very happy to hear that Warner Brothers wised up.
          This is A VERY GOOD DECISION TO RE-CAST HER! Amber doesn’t deserve the work, or to be affiliated with this great Production Company. “She” has made fools of us all.

      2. Amber Heard doesn’t deserve to y in Aquaman 2 after what she did to Johnny Depp , she tried to destroy him , she doesn’t deserve to be in any movies ever again , she needs to go back where she came from and leave the acting to real people with a conscious

      3. S.C.

        Gina Carano better actress? 🤣🤣🤣

      4. Kat

        I agree with you!

    3. Amanda

      I thought the same thing. But they are talking about the scenes that have Mamoa and Kidman in. Those are being reshot.

      1. Celia

        Yes! Nicole won’t be Mera. Someone else will. Hopefully a strong real actress!

    4. Aeryn

      They aren’t recasting with Nicole. They are reshooting scenes with here that previously had Mera in them as well, but if she’s cut those scenes won’t make sense. So had to redo them with just Nicole and Jason.

    5. Meezi

      Has NK been considered? Or are you just bouncing your thoughts around for some reaction? 😅

    6. Veronica Robinson

      Come on let’s not be stupid. They ONLY one that can take over that lying woman is Ryan Reynold’s wife.

  2. Shel

    Do you know what’s ridiculous? Thinking people will believe the narrative the heartland is trying to create. Must think the world is a zombie apocalypse, no brains allowed. Sorry if I sound offended, but I am. Give it a rest! Obviously your words have zero effect, same with the pressure. Try your alternative option. This isn’t working for you, NEVER will!

    1. Horatio Valentine

      What? Your rambling makes zero sense.

    2. Shel

      OMG Horatio, a non profit comment! You’re a genius! The biggest dumplin in the pot! Too bad you weren’t around to call out social media when accusations canceled Mr. Depp. It’s a good thing the whole world could watch the live trial, hear and see the truth, before it was twisted by the media and used to start a new line of victimitis.

      1. Brooke

        You still make no sense.

  3. Msvtrue

    God please WB don’t have Amber in any movies ever again. I absolutely hate the idea of little girls playing with a Mera doll in her likeness. Massive support for the movie which will translate into box office sakes if she’s gone.

  4. Dawn

    That is the best decision that Warner Bros could make.

    1. Jory

      Absolutely the best decision, now the movie won’t go belly up.

  5. Lou

    Emily Clark would be perfect for this role. Plus Jason loves her

    1. David

      It going to be her…

    2. Darren

      Absolutely. Clark has incredible chemistry already with Jason. Plus Jason adores her (as evidenced by his reaction to her character ‘s death in GoT

  6. John Sullivan

    It’s quite evident that any woman who dares to speak out against abuse will be destroyed by society and the media.
    How sad and pathetic. Depp is a sorry excuse for a human being.

    Consider this: Depp lost a similar case against Amber in the UK.
    What does that say about our justice system in the US?

    1. Jason

      They weren’t the same case and two, one was presided and decided over by a judge rather than a jury of the defendant’s peers. Your assumption and unwillingness to research your claim actually says more about the educational system in which you were brought up vice the American legal system.

      1. Andre Lee

        A jury of his peers influenced by his very aggressive PR campaign. Amazing to see you all dismissed one result because you didn’t like it.

    2. It’s not about anyone speaking out, it’s whether or not you’re going to tell the truth!

    3. Cecelia

      You sound ridiculous! There was a trial in the US. The sided with Depp. It has zero to do with woman. Every trial is different!

      1. Tricia

        Please recast Heard! I’ve seen enough of her and will not see another movie with her in it! I am sure a lot people feel the same.

    4. Sha

      She knew the judge and his son…….so get your facts in order before you make a$$ out of yourself 🤣 she’s the pos who abuses people!

    5. McTagh

      He didn’t lose the case against Amber. He lost the case against The Sun. Amber was just a witness that was called to testify. To be fair, MUCH of Depp’s evidence was NOT allowed in that case. In the defamation case Depp vs Heard, he FINALLY got his day in court.

      1. Andre Lee

        And much of what she has to say was thrown out. It goes both ways. You cannot ignore the one result and accept the other. He won one and lost one.

        1. Elizabeth Maguire

          Except the UK case wasn’t against Amber it was against THE SUN!!!!!! Research before you judge.

    6. Melissa

      The UK case wasn’t remotely similar & you clearly did not watch the U.S. trial. Amber was not a “party” in the UK, only a witness, so not under the same discovery obligations. Once she was named defendant in the US trial all her lies were systematically exposed. Lie after lie until she had no credibility left. Audio recordings of Amber starting physical fights & mocking her husband for running from her. A unanimous jury found her guilty on all 3 counts of malicious defamation because the evidence showed she was a liar. The U.S. Justice system worked. In the U.S., the accused receive due process, & malicious defamation is not protected speech. Abuse has no gender.

    7. Victor Nazarian

      What’s clear is that a woman who lies about abuse and attacks an innocent person with false claims will still get support for her dastardly deeds just because of her status as a her.

      As the victim of domestic abuse and exploitation myself it offends me that dishonest hurd-bags get vocal support while real, bona-fide victims still need help.

    8. C.Leitch

      Amber used the Me Too movement to try and take a good man down. We all see thru her. Too bad you don’t. She’s an instigator and a lousey actor.

    9. Terri

      Depp lost a libel case in the UK NOT a defamation case. Totally different things. Also, the UK rules of evidence are totally different. One other thing—the UK judge was connected to, possibly related, to the reporter in the UK case. Ms Heard is being investigated for perjury in both the UK and Australia because her testimony there doesn’t match what she testified to here.

      1. Andre Lee

        In the libel case he was labeled a wife beater. That was found substantially true. You cannot ignore that finding, try as you might.

        1. Gary Ballard

          A lot of Brits think their court system is corrupt… And not only did the judge in the Sun trial suddenly up and retire immediately following the verdict, he was reportedly spotted having lunch… with Amber Heard.
          For added fun, Depp needed to prove that The Sun KNEW that the op-ed was substantially false – which they couldn’t know, as they merely published it third-party.
          The US trial was all about Amber Heard, as the one responsible for writing the op-ed.
          Depp couldn’t bring in evidence of Heard’s actions, as Heard was not a perty to the case.

    10. Laurie

      Or …. What does it say about a trial in the UK with a bias judge ???

      1. Deni

        And one who had personal connections to the Sun!

      2. Andre Lee

        Or a non-sequestered jury biased by exposure to the internet

    11. Chrissy

      Women speak out all the time and real victims will continue to do so. UK laws are very different than ours. The Sun prints garbage every day. It’s the National Enquirer Brit style. Listen to the videos, she’s the perp.

    12. Terry

      You need to read… understand the whole UK thing was a joke… read, understand… glad this lying woman lost…sorry but Women are not , yes NOT, the only one used or abused

    13. Micki

      He lost because the judges son worked for the tabloid

    14. Amber fàbricated( lied ) throughout. NO VALID EVIDENCE. SHE set back abuse victims causes herself. For someone who just wants him to leave her alone, she sure is hanging on to him. UK was bamboozled by her!!!

    15. Luke

      Sniff Sniff Sniff……. SIMP?

    16. Brooke

      He didn’t lose that case against amber, he lost against the sun. Amber is setting DV victims and survivors back. Because of all her blatant lies(which was proven on stand she lied) people will have a hard time believing women who come forward. But hopefully this will have more men come forward about their abuse from partners. Men are always scared to come forward because they think it’ll make them less of a man or that people won’t believe them because it was a woman abusing them. It’s been like that forever. Men are always ridiculed and made fun of if they say their girlfriend/wife abuses them.

    17. Pat

      That case Depp lost in the UK was against the SUN newspaper not Amber. Amber had nothing to gain there.

    18. Stephanie

      It says that the uk judge was related to heards legal team lol you must not have actually watched the trial. She’s lying scum. And the uk trial was against the sun tabloid not heard

    19. Kainé Niliann

      Seriously? You got some issues there, I’m a big fan of Depp and was a big fan of Heard until the trial. She very obviously lied through the whole thing, I mean she couldn’t even stay consistent with her story. Even the judge picked up on that. Rewatch the case and stop being a closed minded PC advocate.

  7. Depp did not lose to Heard in England – he lost to a magazine. The rules were a lot different and most of his evidence wasn’t allowed in. Amber obviously lied and made crap up and she’s still doing it. She need psychiatric help. I don’t care who replaces her as Mera but they definitely need to recast. She is right about one thing, the damage she has done to actual abuse victims is immeasurable. It will be more difficult to prove abuse. Advice to anyone in an abusive relationship- police reports and medical records.

    1. McTagh

      EXACTLY.

      And, I still think it’s rather ODD, that Amber had neither Police or Medical records to back up ANY of her claims.

  8. Versace

    Emilia Clark with no doubt!!

  9. Melissa

    I hope this rumor is true. How hypocritical will Warner Brothers look after immediately recasting Depp in Fantastic Beasts after a mere accusation, then keeping Amber who’s been found guilty on 3 counts of malicious defamation by a unanimous jury. I would love to see Emilia Clarke in the role (& I’m guessing Jason would too). Fingers crossed.

  10. ANN BROWN

    The fact of the matter is she lied, it is patently obvious in the statements and within her own testimony. To then send out her lawyer to denounce the court, jury, Depp, Depp’s lawyers, social media, the witnesses called by Johnny, she is calling everyone involved either liars or incompetent. She has now doubled down with her own interview, plus the narrative in the msm. WB without the petition have no choice but to remove her, she has been found to have falsly accused Johnny of DV and on top of that she then conspired with the ACLU in publishing an op-ed doubling down on it KNOWING she was lying. And she more or less insinuated Walter Hamada lied too. You don’t do that.

  11. Doris DuPriest

    This is just wrong She put Johnny thru hell. They proved his case the Jury made their decision. She was a liar and fake on the stand. I personally will NOT see any move that she is in?!! I hope others feel the same. She CAN NOT BE TRUSTED to be involved with any Male actor. She just wants to boost her career

  12. Shannon

    I hope this is true. She is not a good role model for girls or boys. If she would have won, then anybody could say they were assaulted (with no proof ) and ruin peoples lives. She is someone who needs help. A lot of help.

  13. Elizabeth Stafford

    I’m hoping it’s either Sophie Turner or Emilia Clarke.

  14. Bobby

    Just leave it alone. She had all the recordings to prove her self. The jury’s were just star struck and stupid. Let it go…

    1. Hol

      The audio recordings actually supported Johnny Depp’s case. The jury heard her on two separate occasions saying that she physically attacked him but she “wasn’t punching” Depp, she was “hitting him”.

      I wish people would do research and educate themselves rather than just listening to sound bites.

    2. Luke

      Another Simp?

  15. Kris

    So basically just a rumor? Yeah just last week it was reported her screen time doubled so I take it with a grain of salt and will still definitely not be watching this film.

  16. SH

    Stop with all this already, they can’t recast her for the film that is already slated for release, which means they are done filming it. They may well recast IF they do another Aqua-man, but not this one. People need to stop and check there facts, cause this article is simply not true! Aqua-man and the Lost Kingdom/Release date
    March 17, 2023 this was announced in March by the director, they backed up release, it was suppose to release in Nov, the date changing had nothing to do with her. (Just google it) I mean I am not a fan of her false narrative, she is still pushing lies even when confronted with the truth. Trial was fair, verdict was fair, how she is treated now is because of her, no one else. For over six years Johnny has had to endure her vile, nasty BS, it cost him large, I personally have had enough of her whining! Also these articles, unless WB releases a statement (which at this point I doubt they will) let’s not believe everything we read about her ok XD Thanks!

  17. I vote they get Kate Moss, Winona Ryder, Vanessa Paradis… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

    1. Nicole

      Haha 😂 I agree!!!

  18. Nicole

    Well, I would might go see Aquaman 2 BUT only if The woman who plays Mera is pulled completely. Cast with someone better. Just my opinion , if she stays in the movie, even for a small amount of time, then you will see the results of that at the box office sales. Warner Bros…please PLEASE…..you produce FANTASTIC movies….. please don’t cast her in anything else again.

  19. T Wolfe

    Let Ms Heard do her job.
    Her personal life should not effect her public life .
    If she was perfect for the part she still is !!!

  20. Jen @ JENRON DESIGNS

    Alyssa Sutherland would be a good fit.

  21. Anthony

    I Just think that is marvellous they decide no to include this liar, vicious and bad person in the movie. I don’t care Who plays Mera, i carece that this woman got what she deserves, because it shows that violence and manipulation it’s not a part of just masculibe DNA. I hope she never finds work agains, líder all the men that do the same.

  22. Erin C.

    What about Emilia Clarke? That’s who they said was going to replace Heard when they first talked about replacing her for the sequel. I even remember seeing photos of Emilia in costume as Mera. Give the casting back to her!! Jason and her are best friends and definitely have on-screen chemistry obviously from their Game of Throne days. Sounds like an easy choice to me!

    1. Jennifer

      The pictures of Emilia in costume, were fan-made, but I agree.

  23. Jennifer

    Emilia Clarke should play Mera as she and Mamoa have such GREAT chemistry !

  24. charlize

    Scarlet Johansson

  25. Sgeila

    Blake Lively…..VERY classy !

  26. Kathy

    Blake lively

  27. Teri B.

    I think Kate Winslet would make a beautiful Mera. She made a beautiful red-head in Titanic and she hasn’t aged all that much! Or the lovely Lindy Booth! Both beautiful red heads and great actresses!

  28. Wayne

    Who cares, sequels are never any good anyway. Just scrap the whole movie.

  29. Saeed sepehri

    Recat Heard with anoter actres
    Pleas.

  30. Patty

    Or bring in a cool pirate and laugh all the way to the bank!

  31. Don’t get rid of Amber Heard. Don’t write her out the movie. She started the role LET her FINISH it. Their court case DONT have NOTHING to do with the movie. She did a good job in my book. Their personal life have nothing to do with the movie. People NEED to be able to separate characters life from people real life. The two are total two DIFFERENT things.

  32. Annamaria

    So it’s okay that johnny depp gets recanted right away, but you are willingly excusing her behavior to finish a movie? Doesn’t matter what it has or hasn’t got to do with the movie she’s an awful human being who deserves nothing. Even Jason mamoa said they have no chemistry so why bother acting with someone you dislike.

  33. Luke

    Hell No. JD got screwed over by her. Let her get a taste of her own medicine

  34. Red

    Emilia Clark who played his love interest in Game of Thrones stated in an interview that she’dove to be cast as Mera. Their connection was on point and Jason himself even said he loved working with her. Seems like a great choice to me.

  35. Pat

    My guess would be Amber, Mera,in the movie, interacted with Jason and Nicole, Jason’s mother, so therefore those scenes with them would need to be reshot with the NEW Mera, replacement.

  36. Pat

    That case Depp lost in the UK was against the SUN newspaper not Amber. Amber had nothing to gain there.

  37. Rnda

    Good.!!. Thought she was not right in the first Aquaman..

  38. Dawn

    Can you site your sources? If not is nothing more than a tabloid that pulls **** out of their a**es.
