As the legal debacle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continues to grow, so does the eagerness from fans to have Amber Heard removed from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Fans were shocked when it was revealed Amber Heard would have a role in the upcoming sequel despite Johnny Depp being removed from Warner Bros’ other franchise film Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. While petitions and the like have been started to further continue fans’ efforts in having Amber Heard replaced, they’ve now come up with quite the interesting replacement. Fans are now suggesting that Warner Bros replace Amber Heard as Mera with Johnny Depp’s attorney Camille Vasquez in Aquaman 2 – and have even started a petition.
Obviously, this will likely never happen. Camille Vasquez isn’t an actress and so far Warner Bros hasn’t removed Amber Heard from the upcoming DC film. Nevertheless, it hasn’t stopped fans from sharing the idea on social media. As such, it’ll be interesting to see if Warner Bros continues to make any alterations to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom where they do decide to finally replace Amber Heard.
The petition – which currently has about 2,000 signatures, reads:
Although Amber is a ‘credible’ actor and has actually demonstrated it on many occasions, not just in films or ‘perhaps’ on the stand.
If Camille is half the actor she is as a lawyer this will be an absolute blockbuster of a film.
As you can see in some of the below posts, Aquaman fans seem to be on board with the idea of Camille Vasquez replacing Amber Heard:
