May 03, (THEWILL) – More than 3 million people have signed a petition asking for Amber Heard to be removed from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
According toPeople,the petition is aimed at DC and Warner Bros. It was launched in 2020, and barely got global attention until Johnny Depp’s defamation case against the actress, over her 2018Washington Postop-ed, in which she claimed she said she was a victim of domestic abuse.
Depp claimed that the article, while his name was not mentioned, did damage to his career. It is why he is now seeking $50 million from his ex-wife.
Heard is set to reprise the role of Mera in theAquamansequel, and has been accused of “systematically crusading to ruin Depp in Hollywood, repeating multiple accounts of fake incidents in which she had actually abused Johnny Depp, but lied and created false accounts of him being the abuser”, the petition states.
The trial, which is televised, has seen Depp’s team and witnesses accusing Heard of physically abusing Depp on more than one occasion and cutting Depp’s finger with a glass bottle.
It is unclear the impact the petition will make, but sources in Hollywood have said that Heard’s appearance in the upcomingAquamanmovie has been trimmed to less than 10 minutes.
