Amber Heard ‘Aquaman’ Replacement: One of These Actresses CAN Be Mera
Fans of Johnny Depp are looking for the right actress to replace Amber Heard in "Aquaman."
During the current defamation trial, more than four million people signed a petitiondemanding that Heard be removed from the sequel.
However, it appears that many fans have started a petition requesting "Aquaman" producers to replace Heard with these celebs.
Replacement for Queen Mera in 'Aquaman 2'
According to a new petition, per Meaww, with over 5,000 signatures, fans want Blake Lively to portray Queen Mera in the "Aquaman" sequel.
Following all of the bad energy from the defamation trial and the current film, the petition stated that the former "Gossip Girl" actress is a more "likable actor and human being."
In terms of why Lively should replace Heard, the petition stated, "She is the type of person who should depict a hero." She is someone young ladies should look up to and aspire to be like."
Heard's involvement in the sequel further fueled the fire as her witness testified in court that her role was nearly eliminated due to a "lack of chemistry" between her and co-star Jason Momoa.
Aside from Lively, they feel "Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke is the ideal replacement for Heard in the film.
Amber Heard's Job Was Saved By Jason Momoa
Meanwhile, "Aquaman" himself, Jason Momoa, is said to be rooting for Amber Heard to maintain her part in the planned sequel.
Kathryn Arnold, a former producer and industry consultant, testified as the actress' witness on Monday, alleging that the red-wigged part was meant to be her "star is born" moment, but that Heard was nearly pulled out of the film due to persistent conflicts with Johnny Depp.
According to the Daily Mail, the only reason the "Rum Diaries" actress maintained her role was because the director, James Wan, and Lisa Bonnet's 42-year-old ex-husband committed to her and were "adamant" she be in the film.
The blonde actress supposedly practiced five hours each day for a few months before learning from a costume designer that her role as Mera had been cut.
Arnold also stated that the character had a strong romance narrative and action sequences in the sequel before her parts were "taken out" and her role was "radically diminished."
However, her former agent Jessica Kovaceic testified that she was nearly recast due to her lack of chemistry with Momoa, but she believed it was due to her current bad image.
Heard was allegedly paid $2 million for her role in the sequel.
