Amber Heard, the star of the DC Aquaman film series, has been involved in a public defamation trial, with reports brewing that she was fired from her role as Mira in Aquaman in the Lost Kingdom. The petition to remove her from the movie has gained over 4.5 million signatures.
This has led to speculation about who will replace Amber as the Queen of Atlantis in the upcoming Aquaman movie.
Reddit has been a hotbed of rumors related to Amber Heard, and a recent post on Reddit writing that Bruce Campbell is ready to replace Ah and Aquaman too. The post also had a screenshot attached to Bruce himself tweeting “send me a script.”
During the trial, heard claimed the role had been heavily paired back due to the case, but DC’s Walter Hamada later rebuked that, stating it was actually due to Herd’s lack of chemistry with lead actor Jason Momoa. Despite this, many believe that Amber should not be allowed to return to the rule.
A viral internet post suggesting that a petition claiming that evil dead actor Bruce Campbell should replace Amber in the film had reached 3 million signatures has been deleted. However, Campbell responded to the suggestion by sending him a script. While it is unlikely that Campbell will appear in Aquaman in the Lost Kingdom, he and Mamia would make an epic pairing.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is slated to release on March 17, 2023, and the result of the trial remains to be seen if DC further edits Herd’s role as Mira. People’s reactions to the original Reddit post have varied, with some fans saying they would watch Aquaman if this happened, while others believe Rachel Nichols would be a good replacement for Amber.
