Amber Heard Has NOT Been Fired Or Replaced As Mera In AQUAMAN 2

A rumor that Amber Heard had been "fired" from her role as Mera in the upcoming Aquaman sequel picked up steam online today, but it now appears to have been debunked. Find out more after the jump...

Rumors relating to Amber Heard being fired or replaced as Mera in James Wan's upcoming Aquaman sequel have been doing the rounds ever since the actress became embroiled in a messy legal battle with ex-husband Johnny Depp, but a new rumor gained quite a bit of traction online today, and many seemed to believe that Warner Bros. had indeed decided to remove her from the film.

Heard confirmed that she'd signed on to reprise her role last year, but it has since come to light that she lied about certain aspects of the case against Depp - and about donating her settlement to charity - and many feel she should be held equally (or at least partially) accountable since the accusations cost the actor his part in Fantastic Beasts 3.

Regardless, this latest rumor appears to be nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of a rather shady individual, and THR's Ryan Parker has managed to debunk the report.

As sketchy as this rumor always seemed to be, it's worth noting that the petition to remove Heard from Aquaman 2 is now up around the 2 million signature mark, and if the studio execs do come to believe they have more to lose than gain by keeping her on board, they could decide to take action.

How do you guys feel about this whole situation? Would you like to see Heard stay on as Mera, or would you rather another actress was cast?

@aresww3 - we know she hit him so if he hit then they deserve the same treatment. Either fire then both or rehire Depp.

@dracula - OK. I know and heard the tape and it was damning. However I haven't followed this alot, but it seems like that's the biggest evidence people are going by.

I believe Johny Depp. But I have to say the tape is bad, but it isn't conclusive proof he wasn't abusive to her.

Thatg's why I just wanted clarity as to why people are so sure.

@aresww3 - The evidence says Johnny Depp was as guilty as anyone.

@aresww3 - Am not saying Depp is fully innocent, but its obvious Heard was also guilty and in that case, she deserves the same treatment as Depp

@dracula - "Great" isn't even in the ballpark. There's a legitimate debate as to whether or not she's "adequate".

@dracula - Does WB look for great actresses when they hire super heroes, or just eye candy? Asking for Gal.

@dracula - She isn't but like a lot of actresses she is employed solely on her looks.

@Magus - Someone who looks good in a costume that will put bums in seats.

Just like Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans and Henry Cavill.

@marvel72 - I would say a little more went in to casting those roles.

The real question is why did she even get the part in the first place and who was dumb enough to give it to her
