Amber Heard officially returns as Mera in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Amber Heard is officially coming back in sequel to “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom“

The first trailer for “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” was screened on Tuesday at CinemaCon, the annual movie theater convention, at a presentation by Warner Bros, which attended by our source.

Amber Heard, who worked as charachtor Mera, the love interest of Aquaman (Jason Momoa) in the hit 2018 original movie, is featured in two brief shots during the trailer in which she’s doing battle underwater. She has no dialogue in the trailer.

In June of last year, a now-deleted post on Just Jared reported that Heard was being “cut out” of the sequel.

“The rumor mill continues as it has from day one — inaccurate, insensitive, and slightly insane,” a spokesperson for Heard told Insider in response to the post.

Heard’s Mera character was first introduced in the 2017 film “Justice League” before becoming a protagonist in 2018’s “Aquaman” alongside Momoa.

During her defamation suit with her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, Heard stated that her role in “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” was drastically decreased.

“I fought really hard to stay in the movie — they didn’t want to include me in the film,” Heard said on the stand, adding that she performed “a very pared-down version” of the role that took away action scenes between herself and another character.

According to the teaser, Heard’s Mera is no longer the key supporting character she was in the first feature. Instead of Aquaman and Mera teaming up for most of the movie, in the sequel, it’s Aquaman and his half-brother Orm Marius, played by Patrick Wilson.

“Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” opens in theaters on December 20.
