In a characteristic concerning the upcoming movie in Leisure Weekly, Marcel Wan stated that Mera’s lowered function in “Aquaman and the Misplaced Kingdom” was once, if truth be told, the plan all alongside. “I all the time pitched this to everybody from the get-go,” Wan informed the opening. “The primary ‘Aquaman’ was once Arthur and Mera’s adventure. The second one movie was once all the time going to be Arthur and Orm. So, the primary was once a romance action-adventure movie, the second is a bromance action-adventure movie. We will depart it at that.”
EW does describe the director as seeming “circumspect” about the entire Heard issue, and it is transparent that he is making an attempt to promote the concept that Orm, the antagonist grew to become best friend performed via Patrick Wilson, was once all the time going to be the focal point of “Aquaman and the Misplaced Kingdom.” The trailer does display Orm and Arthur teaming up to save Atlantis and the sector at huge as a villain named Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) emerges with the harmful Black Trident, made up our minds to spoil Aquaman and his circle of relatives. Bringing up within the trailer that Arthur is now husband and father — roles which each contain Mera closely — and declining to display her in any possible way looks like a selected selection, although — and it will, unfortunately, be similar to Heard’s string of unhealthy press after her felony troubles.
