Variety: Amber Heard Not Fired From ‘Aquaman 2,’ Despite Viral Report
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
She's a sunk cost. She's a known abuser that can't act. Just write her out of the movie and I'm sure it'll be fine in the end.
Sunk cost. Too late. Fine. But if they don't replace her with Emilia Clarke in the next one then fuck them.
"Even somebody who is sure I'm deserving of all this hate and vitriol, even if you think that I'm lying, you still couldn't look me in the eye and tell me that you think on social media there's been a fair representation," she said. "You cannot tell me that you think that this has been fair."
Could someone please be a dear and tell her that social media DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FAIR OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD

Yeah I should know better. Thought for a hot minute that JustJared would have credible sources like TMZ despite both being gossip websites but they are definitely not trades.
Either way, fuck Ezra Miller, fuck Warner Bros. Discovery and fuck David Zaslav for still keeping quiet with the Ezra Miller grooming a Native American kid since they were 12 years old.
I don't like Amber Heard and she is an abuser that got caught on her lies after years of the majority of people supporting her, myself included, but I really couldn't care less if she will keep her role for Aquaman 2 or not. If I don't support Warner Bros. Discovery further, it's more about how they are dealing with the Ezra Miller shitshow than this, besides Heard will really need the money to pay for her defamation lawsuit sentence and legal fees. I say recast everyone, just keep Robert Pattinson's Batman and James Gunn's Suicide Squad, or maybe not even that.
After the media and a good chunk of online progressives fell behind Heard even after she lost the trial, I'm betting WB just feels like they would suffer an even bigger shitstorm if they wound up (rightfully) sacking her.
I read her role and screen time in the movie has been reduced at least? I can't see her in future movies anymore, good riddance.
Yeah I have been looking forward to the return of Keaton as the bat, but I am not watching a movie starring a child predator.
Guess I will have to youtube the Keaton clips.
As for AM2, I will wait until it is free on hbo and skip her parts.
I think that was debunked at some point as not being the case, but I don't have it in front of me
Weinstein as Alfred and Cosby as Fox.
The grooming kidnapper and the abuser already have origin stories so let's go.
I think that's different from being "fired" though
The film is in the can.
They can cut her out, perhaps they will if test audiences do not like seeing her, but I imagine she is getting paid regardless
Wouldn't even need to design him a costume, just some green speedos. Quick and easy.
I'm tired of this narrative. "Online progressives" aren't a monolith hive mind, neither are conservatives or right wing / alt right scumbags. Repeating this ad nauseam makes it look like Amber Heard is getting support from "progressives" while Johnny Depp is getting support from "conservatives", when the actual truth is that Depp is getting vast more support online than Heard and that's because with the trial, people came to know what actually happened in the course of their relationship.
Also, I'd highly suggest people to google some of Amber Heard's staunchest Twitter blue check supporters "online" on Twitter. Some of the most vocal are heavily linked with TERFs, particularly some prominent names from articles that are coming from the UK and getting republished in the US by the likes of Rolling Stone and NY Times. There is no blanket protection for Amber Heard among progressives, like we can tell from any social media app or this very message board, besides MRAs, alt right and TERFs trying to co-opt the trial to their own means. In fact, today Savannah Guthrie's interview with Amber Heard was one of the biggest call outs that she has ever endured by mainstream media in six years, and rightfully so.
Stick with their tv output, it is waaaay better. Harley Quin show is amazing.
I assume this is sarcasm?
Because the "online frenzy" is about not wanting a proven abuser to be rewarded with a big payday and be featured in a movie aimed at a younger audience.

I don't think she's a proven abuser at all, I think she's a victim of abuse.
Yah I watched the trial, yah I read all the blah blah blah.
Y'all are weird on this one. The cognitive dissonance must be tough
'Why do all these smart progressive people I like support amber heard'
Why indeed.
Also by 'online frenzy' I'm obviously referring to all the disgusting TikTok memes and rape jokes etc etc.
Y'all can say that stuff is good and ok but don't pretend that comes from any sort of 'progressive' values or a desire to stick up for abuse victims
You clearly did not watch or read anything. She is literally on tape admitting that she abuses him.
Not to mention that she lost the case.
The only victim of abuse is Johnny Depp and we know this for a fact because Amber Heard recorded herself admitting she hit Depp and presented it as evidence.
A reminder that Heard recorded herself not only admitting she hit him but also her mocking him as a male abuse victim.
Can you imagine what Heard said to Depp when she wasn't recording herself?
She already filmed and they would have to pay her. If they indeed end up recasting her, I doubt that she would even be aware that it's happening. I still think it's odd that the initial report came out as a JustJared exclusive and WB hasn't commented on this, just Amber Heard's camp. I agree that JustJared is just an online gossip website, but they do usually have good connected sources. I think it's more likely than not that she wasn't recast, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's what ends up happening. I don't think WB would want the kind of controversy going on, even more so with Ezra Miller's situation.
If I ever boycott WB, it won't be because this decision though. Amber Heard is a domestic abuser that is still running behind Johnny Depp in figurative bedrooms even after the trial, but she isn't a child abuser neither leader of a Manson-esque sex cult. If I ever drop WB's support it will be because they are actively acting as Ezra Miller's enablers by staying quiet, not for keeping Amber Heard or not. I agree, they can't fire her neither not pay her, it would be a situation similar to Johnny Depp and Fantastic Beasts.
It would cost too much to recast either. If the heat gets too hot for WB, they'll just excise her from the film completely. As for Miller, it's looking more likely by the day that Flash is going to be dumped on HBO Max at 3am on a random day with no publicity. Her role is insignificant, Miller is the whole damn movie. They will not spend that much time and money for a redo.
