Amber Heard refutes the'slightly insane' claim that she was dropped from the sequel to 'Aquaman.'

Not so fast, my friend. While the actress' reps have denied allegations that she was deleted from "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" after Warner Bros test-screened the film with crowds, the actress' reps have denied such reports.

Some speculated that Warner Bros. might go all "Christopher Plummer in 'All the Money in the World'" on "Aquaman 2" in the wake of the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial's social media and public consequences.

"The rumor mill continues as it has from day one - false, insensitive, and little nuts," Heard's representative claimed in a statement widely circulated by the media.

IndieWire was unable to reach Warner Bros. for comment right away. Just Jared reported earlier today that Warners was ready to recast the part of princess Mera, who is lead Jason Momoa's co-star and love interest in the picture after test screenings got a negative reaction.

They’d have to work fast, as the movie is hurtling toward theaters for release on March 17, 2023. The company was also reportedly preparing reshoots with Momoa and his co-star Nicole Kidman, according to the source.

Heard played Mera in the first film, in which she also had a supporting role.

Heard previously testified that her involvement in the planned sequel had already been scaled down due to her ex's "smear campaign" during the trial, in which Depp was granted $10.35 million in damages to be paid by Heard for defaming him in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed.

"I was given a script and then given fresh copies of the script that had taken out scenes that had action in them, that represented my character and another character, and they cut a bunch out of my role," Heard testified of her "very pared-down version" of the role. "They just took a bunch of them out."

According to reports, Heard only appears in the first ten minutes of the film. According to the terms of her DC contract, she received $1 million for the first picture and was due to earn $2 million for the sequel, as stated in court.

She claimed Warner Bros. "didn't want to include me" in the sequel, and that she was "actively scheduling filming timing" before Depp's alleged "smear campaign."

During the trial, DC Films President Walter Hamada testified in a pre-recorded deposition on March 15 that Heard and Momoa as a screen pair weren't well-matched. "There wasn't a lot of chemistry between them," Hamada stated.

"I believe they were able to make that relationship work editorially in the first film, but there was concern that it had taken a lot of effort to get there."

When questioned if the position was ever decreased for any reason by Depp's lawyer Ben Chew, Hamada responded no.
