Amber Heard's Salary for Aquaman 2
Amber Heard's involvement in Aquaman 2 has been confirmed, but the burning question remains: how much screen time will she have? Here's what we know
Amber Heard's return to Aquaman 2 has sparked curiosity about her compensation for the role. Here's the latest information.
After the initial release of the first trailers for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, there were complaints from some fans that Heard's role had been practically "erased" from public view, while others objected to her inclusion in the film at all.
With the sequel now officially in theaters, the question remains: how much screen time does Amber Heard have in Aquaman 2? Here's everything you need to know. Warning: spoilers ahead!
How much is Amber Heard in Aquaman 2?
Contrary to original belief, Amber Heard’s role of Mera is still a key part of Aquaman 2.
In the sequel, Mera is now married to Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and they have a son together. As Aquaman investigates the mysterious plagues affecting the sea kingdoms, Mera stands beside him, providing support during his time of need.
The situation becomes more intense when Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) attempts to steal a substance called orichalcum to power ancient technology he has discovered using the black trident. Mera and Atlanna (Nicole Kidman) confront him as he tries to escape, but Black Manta uses a sonic radar to seriously injure Mera.
After helping her recover, Aquaman takes charge in the action. Later, she joins Aquaman in the mission to defeat Black Manta with Orm. She also ventures into the lost kingdom to save her kidnapped son. In Aquaman 2, Mera is shown enjoying family life after Arthur's triumph.
"Warner misled about Amber Heard's role in Aquaman 2. While her screen time isn't extensive, she does have enough scenes to be noticeable. This led fans to believe Warner was attempting to deceive them about her involvement, sparking backlash online," one fan tweeted about Amber Heard's role on X/Twitter.
"Despite reports claiming otherwise, it appears that Amber Heard has a significant part in Aquaman 2. Looks like we were wrong to doubt it," a second fan chimed in, with a third adding, "It turns out that Amber Heard is actually prominently featured in the new Aquaman movie, despite earlier claims of being sidelined. I wasn't planning on seeing it anyway, but this is valuable information for those who are interested."

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I have mixed feelings about Amber Heard's involvement in Aquaman 2. On the one hand, I understand that she is a talented actress and deserves to have her work recognized. On the other hand, I am aware of the allegations against her and believe that it is important to hold people accountable for their actions. I think that Warner Bros. made the right decision to reduce her screen time in the film, as it sends a message that domestic violence is not tolerated. However, I also believe that it is important to allow Heard to continue her career, as she has the potential to make a positive impact on the world.
Overall, I think that the situation is complex and there is no easy answer. I hope that Heard is able to learn from her mistakes and move forward in a positive way, and that Warner Bros. continues to make decisions that are in the best interests of all parties involved.
