This move refutes the false information posted on JustJared in June 2022. At that time, the newspaper wrote "Amber Heard cut from the sequel of the popular franchise". JustJared also emphasized that Warner Bros. decided to change the actress's role after viewing the rough cut. The Aquaman 2 film crew will also reshoot all scenes with Jason Momoa and Nicole Kidman.

Meanwhile, The Direct reported that an emergency meeting was held among the Warner Bros. executives after Heard lost the lawsuit. Geeks WorldWide's writer KC Walsh revealed that the company's leadership wants to remove the actress from the film.

However, Heard's representative denied the information and told Insider: "The rumor has been around from the beginning and continues to be spread. I affirm that the information is inaccurate, insensitive, and crazy."

In the film, Momoa wears a new mysterious armor."The sequel to Aquaman has shifted its focus from the romantic pairing of Aquaman and Mera, with Mera no longer being one of the main characters. Instead, the sequel will concentrate on the relationship between Aquaman and his half-brother Orm Marius, portrayed by Patrick Wilson." the source added.

The original release date for the film was scheduled for December 2022, but was delayed several times. According to the latest information, Aquaman 2 has been officially scheduled to release on December 20th.
