Shocking no one, a petition attempting to get Amber Heard fired from “Aquaman 2” did not succeed and the actress will be returning as Mera in the follow up to 2018’s billion-dollar hit “Aquaman.”
Shortly after Heard’s ex-husband Johnny Depp was forced by Warner Bros. to quit “Fantastic Beasts 3 last week,” a Change.org petition was established calling for Amber Heard to be removed from “Aquaman 2” that so far has received more than a million signatures. There have also been persistent, and of course completely baseless rumors in recent months that she’ll be removed from the role.
