The online petition asking for actress Amber Heard, 36, to be removed from the film “Aquaman 2”, which is due for release in 2023, hit 4.4 million signatures on Wednesday (1st), the day the jury of the lawsuit filed by Johnny Depp, 58, reached the verdict.
According to TMZ, if the petition reaches 4.5 million signatures, it will become one of the most signed in the history of Change.org. In the petition, fans of Depp ask DC and Warner Bros. that the artist be removed from the cast in the sequel to the film of the water hero.
Heard starred in the first film, in 2018, as Princess Mera, alongside Jason Momoa and Nicole Kidman. For them, the actress must meet the same fate as Depp, cast off by Disney in his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the sixth “Pirates of the Caribbean” film, after Heard wrote the 2018 Washington Post article describing himself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse”.
The lawsuit comes to an end on Wednesday, after nearly six weeks of televised court battles. At trial, the actor asks Heard for $50 million for an opinion piece that the actress published in an editorial for The Washington Post in December 2018, in which she describes herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse”.
Heard, on the other hand, is asking for US$100 million in his counter-accusation, alleging that he suffered “unrestrained physical violence and abuse”. The two started dating in 2011, got married in 2015 and the following year they filed for divorce, finalized only in 2017.
