Good. Even back in '18, when I saw AQUAMAN with some friends, our consensus was that A.H. wasn't a very good actress and had no chemistry with anyone else in the cast, so despite Mera being a really cool character- they squandered that with their choice in actress. So the choices would be re-cast with a better actress (Teresa Palmer, that chic from GoT that fans like, etc.) or reduce the character.
PS: Has anyone heard if Tom Curry and/or Atlanna are going to be in AQUAMAN 2? I've heard rumours both for, and against, so I wasn't sure if there was anything solid.

There is no official confirmation yet. But it very well might happen.

Blake Lively has all the makings for the next big superheroine actress. She's tall, statuesque and athletically built, she has vastly stronger acting skills than majority of actresses they cast for cbms, and she's proven quite capable of bringing physicality to her roles. Add to that her being married to Ryan Reynolds and I don't understand why DC or Marvel hasn't offered her a role yet. I personally thought she would have been the perfect Captain Marvel, or if not that then Valkyrie, but at this point I'd just like to see her in a any decent superhero role though I'd prefer if she didn't play such a minor character as Mera.

Via Heroic Hollywood, producer Kathryn Arnold testified on Heard’s behalf. And her testimony spelled out what’s happening with Heard’s character, Mera. At the end of the first Aquaman, Mera and Arthur (Jason Momoa) were still at an early point in their relationship. But Arnold’s account indicates that the sequel will jump ahead to the point where Aquaman and Mera already have a child. Additionally, Arnold revealed that Mera is hospitalized for most of the film. She didn’t say why or how Mera is injured, but this would explain Mera’s absence for a large part of the story. Regardless, Arnold noted that Mera returns in the third act.

I can’t believe we got spoilers for this movie because of the stupid court battle.

I can’t believe we got spoilers for this movie because of the stupid court battle. WB has had some bad luck recently. Though I have to wonder, are people mad that Amber Heard apparently has limited screentime?

Though I have to wonder, are people mad that Amber Heard apparently has limited screentime? Twitter and YouTube are mad that she’s in the movie at all, but I personally don’t care either way. I’m just sick of hearing about this trial, and I’m tired of the Internet endlessly jerking off Johnny Depp.

I can’t believe we got spoilers for this movie because of the stupid court battle. WB has had some bad luck recently. Though I have to wonder, are people mad that Amber Heard apparently has limited screentime? Back when the first AQUAMAN came out, I saw it with friends and we all thought Heard either wasn't a good actress or was terribly miscast (none of us, at the time, had seen anything else she was in - I've since seen one other film with her, and I lean towards "not a good actress") so her having less/no screen time would be fine with me cause of that. When I saw old security footage of her beating a former significant-other, I had hoped she would get sacked in favour of a better actress. It didn't happen.
Honestly, regardless of the trial and Heard's personal life, I would be fine with reduced screen time or recasting the character. She's good at being beautiful and aloof, but the rest of the job of acting seems to elude her when she's on screen. Plus, she and Momoa don't have any chemistry (meanwhile, Kidman and Morrison, could power a medium sized town with theirs - and Orm has great rivalry-chemistry with Arthur), so putting someone else in who really brings the character of Mera alive, would be wonderful.
PS: I think, at least from my spot in the peanut gallery, some of the reason fans are angry is that Depp was fired by WB while Heard (along with the likes of Joss Whedon and others) had WB sticking with her, even after pre-Depp behavior and such came out. I could easily be wrong about that, it just seems like that's fuel to the fire.

As per a new report from TMZ, Lundgren shares that his experience shooting scenes with Heard for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was entirely pleasant. Lundgren explains that he had a "great experience" with Heard and recalls that she was "nice to everybody" and "down to earth." Check out Lundgren's full comment below: “She was great. I worked with her on the first Aquaman, now the second one. We shot last fall in London. She’s terrific, I had a great experience with her. She was very kind, nice to the crew, nice to everybody, just down to earth. She had her newborn baby with her on set with the nanny which was kind of cute.” screenrant.com/aquaman-2-movie-amber-heard-role-dolph-lundgren/

Guess we gotta wait for FANDOME then? They probably just wanted Black Adam & Shazam2 to get all the buzz from SDCC 2022, then have AQUAMAN 2 (which comes out after Black Adam, so I can understand the thinking), plus anything for THE BATMAN 2, Black Canary, Harley Quinn, etc. be trotted out at FANDOME. Basically, the same deal Disney likes to pull with SDCC/D23.
