Reports Claim Johnny Depp Tried to Have Amber Heard Removed From 'Aquaman'

Johnny Depp allegedly tried to have ex-wife Amber Heard removed from the film Aquaman, and it seems like things have expanded far beyond the two exes. Former Warner Bros. chairman Kevin Tsujihara will allegedly be called to talk about Depp's role in potentially "blacklisting" Heard and preventing her from getting other roles at the studio.

This comes after headlines were made by the two when Depp filed a $50 million defamation suit against Heard after she made abuse allegations against her ex-husband, which Depp claimed were an elaborate hoax.

In an Op-Ed in The Washington Post, Heard wrote that she, “purported to write from the perspective of ‘a public figure representing domestic abuse...Following my highly-publicized separation from Johnny ... I lost a part for a movie in which I had already been cast."

“Executives at Warner Bros. are wondering how to deal with the backlash of the Depp matter on the Harry Potter franchise,” a source told to Page Six following the ordeal.

The series, in which Depp plays the villainous wizard Grindelwald, is releasing a third film, which production had been significantly delayed on. According to actor Dan Folger, this was due to the large undertaking the film had become.
