Amber Heard, 37, is set to reprise her role as Mera in "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," scheduled for release on December 20, 2023. However, her return was uncertain, with past reports suggesting that her chemistry with lead star Jason Momoa, 44, had been questioned by the studio and director James Wan. 

Sources revealed that Warner Bros. had informed Heard of their decision to potentially oust her from the sequel following the release of the first "Aquaman" film in 2018. Notably, Jason Momoa was not involved in this decision. 

It was also disclosed that Amber Heard had undergone a chemistry test with Momoa before landing the role in the first film, successfully securing the part against other talented actresses. 

In response to the potential removal of Heard from the sequel, Elon Musk, worth a staggering $252 billion, allegedly deployed one of his legal representatives to send a strongly worded letter to Warner Bros. The letter threatened severe consequences if Heard was not retained for the film. Subsequently, Warner Bros. decided to retain Amber Heard for her role in "Aquaman 2."

Amber Heard and Elon Musk's paths first crossed in 2012 while she was filming "Machete Kills" in Los Angeles. Their relationship developed amid Heard's turbulent divorce from Johnny Depp. Although they dated for approximately a year between 2017 and 2018, the relationship eventually came to an end. 

This development in Amber Heard's career comes amidst ongoing controversies surrounding her personal life, particularly her legal battles with Johnny Depp. Fans of Depp had previously initiated a petition calling for her role to be recast in "Aquaman 2," citing her involvement in Depp's legal troubles as a point of contention.

Despite the petition, the film's producer, Peter Safran, reiterated that casting decisions should not be influenced solely by fan pressure. He emphasized the importance of making decisions that best serve the film. 

As "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" approaches its release date, fans and moviegoers are eagerly anticipating Amber Heard's return to the role of Mera, with Elon Musk's unexpected legal intervention playing a significant role in ensuring her continued involvement in the film. 

The movie features an ensemble cast, including Jason Momoa, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Nicole Kidman, Yahya Abdul Mateen II, and Temuera Morrison, and is scheduled for release in December.
