In an unfolding drama surrounding the production of “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” allegations surfaced regarding lead actor Jason Momoa’s conduct on set.
Notes from Amber Heard’s therapy sessions, initially related to a defamation case against Johnny Depp, have become central to these claims.
According to the therapist’s notes, Amber Heard alleged that Momoa frequently arrived late and inebriated on set. Furthermore, she claimed that he dressed in a way reminiscent of Johnny Depp’s signature style, down to the rings. One of the more significant allegations suggests that Momoa attempted to have Heard removed from the film.
DC, the film’s production company, has responded to these claims. A spokesperson from DC informed 9news that Momoa consistently maintained professionalism during the movie’s production. The company also defended director James Wan, emphasizing in a statement to Comic Book Resources that Wan is known for treating all cast and crew members with respect and fostering a positive, collaborative environment. This was in response to the therapist’s notes which indicated that Heard felt isolated on set, particularly by Wan, alleging that he raised his voice at her. She felt further marginalized due to her ongoing legal battle with Depp.
Despite the controversy, anticipation for “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” remains high. The movie, set to release on December 20, will feature Momoa reprising his titular role and Amber Heard returning as Mera. As these allegations and counterclaims unfold, audiences worldwide are eagerly awaiting their return to the underwater world of Aquaman.
In Hollywood, discerning fact from fiction is often a complex task. Nonetheless, the attention from these allegations has undoubtedly spotlighted the upcoming sequel even more. The ultimate influence on the film’s reception and box office results remains to be seen.
