Emilia Clarke is reportedly set to replace Amber Heard as Mera in the coming Aquaman 2 movie following a hint from a recently published Forbes article.
For now, Warner Bros. has not released any official statement on this development but some fans are greeting this news with a bit of glee.
Recall that Amber Heard had been married to actor Johnny Depp until 2016 when their marriage crashed. Things went from bad after their divorce case became public to worse when details of alleged verbal and physical abuse emerged.
Both Heard and Depp did not hold back in pointing fingers but it appeared that Johnny Depp received more punishment from his employers. This became apparent after he lost a libel case against The Sun and then got booted off the Fantastic Beasts franchise in which he played the role of the wizard Grindelwald.
Additionally, Disney reportedly took him off future parts in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. This is what one fan said about the rumour that Clarke is replacing Amber Heard in the Aquaman sequel.
Oh I thought there wasnt gonna be any consequence for Amber Heard. This is good news.

This also is not an isolated statement as many fans are supporting Warner Bros’ sacking of the actress. But is there any truth to the statement? Here is what Forbes said while talking about her putting up her California home for sale:
If this is true, then it will not only serve to satisfy some fans’ craving for ‘justice’ but also reunite Jason Mamoa and Emilia Clarke after they played Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen respectively in Game of Thrones.
Meanwhile, as we await an official announcement regarding the casting of Aquaman 2, you should be aware that Clarke has an upcoming animated fantasy film titled The Amazing Maurice, to be released in 2022.
Hmmm…okay
This is fitting! At least small justice
Finally!!! Some justice
