After discovering this, her fans refused to watch the movie.?She played a lead in the original movie Aquaman starring alongside Jason Momoa. In the sequel, her role has been minimized even though she is now married to Arthur Curry and has given birth to their newborn child.
During the defamation trial against her former husband Johnny Depp, Amber Heard?testified that her role was shortened in the sequel and some of her actions scenes were removed as she fought to remain in the sequel. As per Variety, two of her scenes were cut - including a fight scene with villain Black Manta and a love scene with Aquaman.
"I was given a script and then given new versions of the script that had taken away scenes that had action in it, that depicted my character and another character, without giving any spoilers away, two characters fighting with one another, and they basically took a bunch out of my role. They just removed a bunch out," she said.
When DC boss Walter Hamada was asked whether this was because of her infamous trial, he said that her scenes were cut due to a lack of chemistry
"I just saw the movie and there is very obvious that the parts with Mera are missing because is an important character for the plot so bring out the full version #IStandWithAmberHeard", a fan said.

"This why even though I support those Amber Heard fans who will see Aquaman 2 #OnlyForMera, I'm still not bought into watching it.Critics have noted that Amber was right: they cut down her scenes as much as possible. And this messed up the entire movie," commented another one.
"I wouldn¡¯t say that #AmberHeard was the best of this film, she's not anywhere near YahYa or Nicole in my opinion, and she barely talks - and when she talks her lines are minimal or laughable.Although as I said I agree that Heard surely has badass moments (including one of my favorite battles of the film when she is with Kidman) but that¡¯s about it," a fan said.
"Also Warner Bros / DC literally lied about Amber Heard having a reduced role. She was still very prominent," a tweet read.
"Ain't no way Amber Heard has the same amount of screentime as Patrick Wilson in the sequel please tell me it's a joke", an X user commented.?
"#AquamanAndTheLostKingdom is out in Germany and sady I have to report that Amber Heard got much more screen time than the marketing material suggested," said another one.
