Johnny Depp Vs Amber Heard- Never Ending War
With Johnny Depp’s firing from the Fantastic Beasts franchise and most notably Pirates of the Caribbean, a franchise which he basically built, a counter-movement was launched to remove Amber Heard from Aquaman 2 with signatures almost reaching 2 million.
To the latter’s delight, a rumor began circulating around the internet that Amber Heard has been fired from Aquaman 2, with many celebrating it as a sign of victory on various social media platforms while some remained skeptical. Some even went further to report that the Game of Thrones star, Emilia Clark will be replacing Amber Heard in Aquaman 2.
Well, we have some news for you guys. “It’s fake news” in Donald Trump’s accent.
Denying these rumors a senior staff writer, Parker, for The Hollywood Reporter wrote:
“Told by a reliable source that reports of Amber Heard being fired off ‘Aquaman 2’ are inaccurate.”
Although many reporters have reached out to them for the comments, Warner Brothers has released no statements as they continue to maintain silence over the issue. Aquaman 2 is planned to be released in December 2022 with Jason Momoa reprising his titular role.
