Amber Herd News – Fired From The Show Due To Failure To Comply With The Contract
According to different sources, Heard was fired from the show after failing to pass the physical examination that would enable her to return to her role in the action film, which is stunt-filled and physically demanding.
“She’s put on some pounds and is in terrible shape,” a mystery source commented, also adding “that there is a clause in the contract which says she is required to be in good form ahead of shooting and she violated that.”
According to an entertainment publication What Culture report, Warner Bros was eyeing Emilia Clarke to take over the role, which if she does would mean that she’d star alongside her Game of Thrones co-star Jason Momoa. However, the site notes that it is possible that she could return to the project, but only if she gets her health back on track.
This news and wide-spread speculation is happening amid Heard’s much-discussed legal battle with actor Johnny Depp, whom she accused of coordinating a harassment campaign via Twitter, along with giving rise to online petitions, all in an effort to get her fired from Aquaman and L’Oreal.

It should be said that WB had supported and stood by her previously.

Heard’s rumored exit is unrelated to an ongoing request for Warner Bros and DC entertainment to remove her from the role, citing that the company would be glamorizing a known domestic abuser. Her removal from the role would also please the nearly 2 million people who signed the petition to have her exit the movie.
There have been quite a number of fans that are excited about the news, with one saying, “I need a reliable source to confirm Amber Heard has actually been fired from Aquaman 2 so I can enjoy the rest of my weekend!” Another also added, “So tons of tweets saying @realamberheard axed from Aquaman. Don’t get my hopes up.”
A lot of people are celebrating the news, but as of yet, there has been no official comment regarding the recent rumor, and as far as anyone is concerned, the actress will be involved in shooting Aquaman 2, which will start filming this summer.
