However, this claim was rebuffed by a DC spokesperson, who said: “Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.”
Amid the reports and controversy surrounding the film, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom hit theatres in December 2023.
While it received modest reviews, it only made $434 million at the box office – over $500 million less than the first movie grossed.
Heard did return as Mera but only had a short amount of screen time.
Prior to the sequel’s release, fans were rooting for someone else to star as Mera in the movie.
A petition was launched to have Blake Lively replace Heard and it garnered over 17,000 signatures.
