It’s possible Amber Heard doesn’t have any other projects lined up as of this writing to help her get out of the spotlight. Still, it’s nice Zack Snyder has come to bat for her, as he has a history of sticking up for his actors. Ray Fisher, whom Snyder cast as Cyborg in “Justice League,” has seen his career similarly falter following accusations he made of experiencing racism on the film’s set when Joss Whedon took over. He hasn’t had many roles since then, but Fisher got cast in Snyder’s forthcoming “Rebel Moon” for Netflix. Perhaps Snyder could do something similar for Heard if she’s interested. “Rebel Moon” has all the makings of a new franchise, and there are plenty of characters that need to be cast for the galaxy-spanning epic.
And while Mera will be in “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” Heard believes her role was cut due to her trial against Johnny Depp. Entertainment Weekly reported during said trial that Heard mentioned how Depp’s team orchestrated a “smear campaign” against her. She also discussed losing out on jobs and gradually seeing her role in “Aquaman 2” diminish. “I was given a script and then given new versions of the script that had taken away scenes … They basically took a bunch out of my role. They just removed a bunch out,” the actor said.
Snyder stands by his actors, and even if he doesn’t direct a DC movie again, he won’t forget his time there.
