Johnny Depp trial: Amber Heard ‘almost recast in Aquaman’ over Jason Momoa chemistry, court hears
Amber Heard was almost ‘recast’ in Aquaman, a Warner Bros boss told the court during Johnny Depp’s defamation trial.The 36-year-old played Mera in the superhero flick, which was released in 2018, and starred opposite Jason Momoa in the titular role.She previously claimed that her role in the upcoming sequel was ‘reduced’, and that she ‘fought really hard to stay in the movie’.Earlier today, on day 21 of the bombshell case, Walter Hamada, president of DC Films at Warner Bros, testified that there were fears of a ‘lack of chemistry’ between the two leads, claiming there were talks of recasting her.‘The reality is, it’s not uncommon on movies for two leads to not have chemistry,’ he told the court.‘You can fabricate, sort of, that chemistry. So I think at the end of the day, I think if you watch the movie, they look like they have great chemistry.
