DC fans have been waiting for the sequel of ‘Aquaman’ since it was first launched in 2018. Fans demand a new sequel following its first release. No wonder why DC will have the ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ be released sometime in 2023.
However, there are reports that Amber Heard, who played the character of the love interest of Aquaman, or Mera will be recast in the sequel, according to a published report in THE DIRECT. This is after the result of her defamation case against ex-husband Johnny Depp.
Additionally, Warner Bros. did have talks about replacing Amber Heard in the ‘Aquaman 2’ during the trial. It was previously reported that it was not because of her defamation case but due to a lack of chemistry with Jason Momoa who leads the movie.
