After returning to the Justice League under the direction of Zack Snyder, actress Amber Heard is expecting her return as Mera for Aquaman 2.
The interpreter shared an image via her personal Instagram account where she enjoys a relaxing moment on the film set. Heard appears surrounded by trailers, in the company of a book and in casual wear. Despite not having Mera’s costume, under the scarf that adorns her hair, you can see the redhead color that defines her character.
The shooting of Aquaman 2 is scheduled to start in the coming months, so it is likely that it is a picture of the shooting of the first movie
Heard took part in the first film of the water hero played by Jason Momoa, where he gave birth to Mera, princess of Xebel. The hero’s solo film is the only one in the DC Extended Universe to surpass $ 1 billion gross to over $ 1 billion at the worldwide box office.
Part of this overwhelming success is due to Momoa’s charismatic presence in the role of Arthur Curry, who made his Justice League debut. There he was seen returning to the realm of the waters to claim his title as King of Atlantis.
At this point, there are no more details about Aquaman 2, but Heard is expected to play a bigger role in the sequel. The hero duo became romantically linked at the end of the first film, something that will certainly be seen in more detail in the sequel.
Remember, Heard’s return to the DCEU has been tainted by controversy. This is because of the situation he has had to go through regarding Johnny Depp’s media divorce. On the one hand, fans have taken over social networks to support and fire the actress and actor in their various projects.
Some fans have indicated that it is unfair for Heard to continue in the role of Mera, while Depp was left out of the Fantastic Animals saga and his continuity in other projects was questioned. Months ago, Depp’s followers had started a petition asking if the actress would be from Aquaman 2.
Some rumors suggested that Heard had been fired, but they were quickly refuted. Not only will he be a part of the new movie, but he has the support of the cast and especially Momoa. Meanwhile, Aquaman 2 is slated to premiere in December 2022.
