The
head
of
DC
Films
at
Warner
Bros.,
Walter
Hamada,
testified
earlier
this
week
during
the
Johnny
Depp
vs
Amber
Heard
case.
The
actress
has
claimed
that
it
was
due
to
the
cases
that
her
roles
in
Aquaman
2
has
been
reduced
to
10
minutes.
However,
Walter
told
the
court
that
Depp
incident
had
no
bearing
on
Amber
Heard's
future
in
the
Aquaman
series.
Notably,
Aquaman
2
also
called
Aquaman
And
The
Lost
Kingdom
has
already
been
shot
and
is
expected
to
be
released
in
March
2023.
Heard
plays
the
role
Mera
in
the
film
as
the
love
interest
of
the
titular
character
played
by
Jason
Momoa.
According
to
People
Magazine,
Heard
claimed
she
"fought
really
hard
to
stay
in" Aquaman
2
because
"they
didn't
want
to
include
me
in
the
movie."
Heard
told
the
court
that
through
revisions
in
the
script,
her
role
was
"very
pared
down." She
added,
"I
was
given
a
script
and
then
given
new
versions
of
the
script
that
had
taken
away
scenes
that
had
action
in
it,
that
depicted
my
character
and
another
character."
As
one
of
Amber
Heard's
witnesses,
Kathryn
Arnold
presented
her
testimony
in
court
and
accidentally
revealed
some
plot
details
from
Aquaman
and
the
Lost
Kingdom.
She
revealed
that
Amber
got
hurt
during
the
filming.
She
said,
"I
believe
that
in
the
first
act
of
the
movie,
she
was
injured
somehow,
or
it
had
something
to
do
with
a
baby."
Kathryn
admitted
to
not
having
read
the
script
and
added
that
she
only
knew
how
much
Amber
told
her
about
the
script.
She
said
Mera
"ends
up
in
the
hospital
early
in
this
new
Aquaman
2
movie
and
doesn't
really
comes
out
until
the
end
to
kind
of
wrap
things
up."
Kathryn
also
claimed
that
Amber
had
trained
very
hard
for
several
months
for
an
action
sequence
but
when
she
arrived
on
the
set,
her
role
was
chopped
out.
Meanwhile,
Walter
testified
that
the
studio
had
concerns
over
Heard
and
Momoa's
"lack
of
chemistry." He
said
that
no
statements
made
by
Depp
or
his
counsel
had
any
bearing
on
Heard's
role
in
the
sequel.
