Jason Momoa has expressed interest in suing Warner Brothers for the release of Aquaman 2, a sequel to the DC Comics film. The studio has been facing controversy and controversies, which has put pressure on them to maximize profits. To ensure Amber’s absence from the sequel, Jason Momoa negotiated his contract to double his Aquaman salary for the sequel.
As a result, the 42-year-old actor is set to make $15 million for his upcoming role.
Aquaman 2 has been the subject of much controversy, with fans petitioning for the film to remove Amber Heard due to a defamation trial brought by her ex-husband Johnny Depp. However, Hollywood is not always straightforward, as the amount being paid to Jason is only his base salary for films like Aquaman. The Stars always negotiate contracts that allow them to continue earning even after the movie has been released, as they are offered a percentage of the profits the movie makes at the box office.
To maximize his profits, Jason needs the movie to be a hit, making it more than a billion dollars. With Amber’s controversial figures and potential boycott, Jason may take WB to the courts to get compensation from them. This could be in the form of additional monetary payments or he could sue Warner Brothers to get Amber removed from the sequel entirely, which would result in higher profits and earnings for him.
The reactions of people online have already shown that Aquaman 2 will likely fail, with some people boycotting the movie and others expressing concerns about the money Warner Brothers should pay for Amber’s scenes. Fans have final say in whether to boycott Aquaman 2, and the studio has forced their hand.
