According to a report, a social media campaign led by Johnny Depp supporters is continuously demanding Amber’s removal from the much-awaited ‘Aquaman 2’. Warner Bros. Depp was released from the upcoming Fantastic Beasts sequel, in which actor Mads Mickelson played Gellert Grindelwald.
Depping a social media campaign by Depp’s supporters, Peter explained why the creative team didn’t go along with the idea of removing Amber from the film.
“I don’t think we’re going to react to pure fan pressure, honestly, you have to do what’s best for the film. We figured if this [director] James Wan | And [star] Jason Momoa, it must be Amber Heard. It was exactly that,” Peter told Deadline’s Hero Nation podcast.
“Twitter-verse no one is clueless about what’s going on, but that doesn’t mean you have to react to it or take it as gospel or accept their wishes. You have to do that Which is right for the film, and that’s really what we landed on,” he said.
Amber has kept a low profile since her ex-husband, Depp lost a legal battle over defamation in the UK in November 2020. The superstar actor, who was accused of misbehavior by Amber, sued a British newspaper after they dubbed her a ‘wife-beater’. .
Last November, Amber, who played the aquatic warrior Mera in the franchise, described the protests in an interview with Entertainment Weekly as “paid rumors and paid campaigns on social media” that “do not direct. Huh” [casting decisions] Because they have no basis in reality. Only fans actually made Aquaman and Aquaman 2. I’m excited to start next year.”
‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ will release on December 16, 2022.
