Are Fans Wants To See Jason Momoa And Amber Heard Together In Aquaman 2?
The highly anticipated sequel to the superhero blockbuster, Aquaman, titled “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” has recently released its full trailer. However, the limited appearance of actress Amber Heard as Mera in the trailer has sparked various reactions and discussions among fans.
2. Mera’s Presence in the Trailer
In the first Aquaman movie, Mera played a significant role as an Atlantean warrior and the love interest of Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry. However, fans have noticed that her presence in the sequel’s trailer appears to be notably reduced compared to her prominent role in the previous film. Some fans have expressed concerns about the extent of her involvement in the upcoming movie.
Fan Reactions on Social Media
The trailer’s release led to a flurry of reactions on social media, particularly on platforms like Twitter. Fans shared a mix of excitement and disappointment, with many questioning the limited screen time given to Amber Heard’s character, Mera. Tweets like “Where’s Mera?” and “Mera deserves more screen time!” have been circulating widely.
Director James Wan’s Explanation
Director James Wan, who helmed both Aquaman films, provided insight into the reasons behind Amber Heard’s reduced presence in the sequel’s trailer. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Wan clarified that his vision for the second Aquaman movie was always different from the first.
Wan’s Vision for the Sequel
Wan explained that the first Aquaman film primarily focused on the romantic journey of Arthur and Mera. However, he had a distinct direction in mind for the sequel right from the beginning. He stated, “The first Aquaman was Arthur (Jason Momoa) and Mera’s (Heard) journey. The second movie was always going to be Arthur and Orm (Patrick Wilson). So, the first was a romance action-adventure movie, the second one is a bromance action-adventure movie.”
Returning Cast and Release Date
The upcoming film features a returning cast that includes Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Temuera Morrison, and Nicole Kidman. “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” is scheduled for release on December 25, adding to the anticipation surrounding the film.
In summary, while fans have raised questions about Amber Heard’s role in “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” based on the trailer’s limited depiction, director James Wan has clarified that this shift was part of his intentional narrative direction for the sequel, emphasizing the bromance between Arthur and Orm. Fans eagerly await the release of the film on December 25 to see how this new direction unfolds on the big screen.
