Amber Heard appears as Mera in ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ but not for long.
THE BIG PICTURE
Amber Heard’s character Mera is significantly minimized in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom .
Mera’s presence is reduced through limited screen time and displaced focus on other characters like Orm and Atlanna.
While sidelining Mera helps the film avoid complications, it’s a disservice to the character and creates noticeable gaps in the story.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom marks the end of the DCEU, closing a turbulent chapter for the studio. Yet even this conclusion is full of controversy, most notable because of the inclusion of Amber Heard. The actress appeared in the original Aquaman in 2018, playing Mera, an accomplished sorceress and love interest of Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa). During the film, she partners with Arthur, finding him and encouraging him to challenge his brother and win the Atlantian throne. Mera fills a primary role in the first film, so with Heard involved in a scandal and unpopular with the public, the sequel had to adjust. The character had the potential to become more important as she is married to the title character and the mother of his son, but due to the outside issues, that didn’t happen. Many people expected Amber Heard to be removed from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom by either removing the character from the story or recasting, yet the film took another approach.
Instead of writing her out or finding another actress, the sequel minimized Heard’s part, giving her maybe 20 minutes of screen time. This is a huge step down from her part in the first Aquaman film, but even so, it was more than expected. The moments that seem meant for Mera are divided up among other characters, giving them larger roles in place of the Queen of Atlantis. Even when Mera is there, the film highlights other cast members, giving her a backseat. Though this solution largely removes the problematic stress from the film without forcing the film to recast, it does a disservice to the character. As the story follows her husband and features the kidnapping of her son, Mera’s absence seems odd at times, yet the film makes it work for the most part.
