Elon Musk Threatened Warner Bros With “Scorched-Earth” Letter If Amber Heard Was Fired From “Aquaman 2”: Report

by

Elon Musk was reportedly ready to “burn the house down” if Warner Bros. fired Amber Heard from Aquaman 2, according to a new report from Variety. The outlet says that fans of Johnny Depp paid the court fees for the release of documents from Heard’s therapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes, which stem from her infamous defamation trial with the actor. The notes reveal that Heard viewed the Aquaman 2 set as hostile and feature claims that Momoa would dress like Johnny Depp while wanting her fired.

“Jason said he wanted me fired,” the notes say. “Jason drunk — late on set. Dressing like Johnny. Has all the rings too.” Momoa hasn’t addressed the comments, but a DC spokesperson told the outlet: “Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” Another insider on the set added: “Jason works his ass off, likes to have a beer once in a while like everyone, but doesn’t show up drunk to set… And he isn’t dressing like Johnny Depp. He has always dressed in that bohemian style.”

When the outlet looked into why Heard was never fired, a source revealed that Musk, Heard’s former boyfriend, had one of his litigators send a “scorched-earth letter to Warner Bros. threatening to burn the house down” if she was let go. Musk also hasn’t commented on the report. Musk and Heard dated for the year following her divorce from Johnny Depp.

Aquaman 2 will finally be hitting theaters on December 20. When Heard’s presence was barely included in the trailer for the film, rumors began floating that her role was edited down due to the highly-publicized defamation trial with Johnny Depp. Director James Wan has said that this isn’t the case.

Jason Momoa Might Exit “Aquaman” Due To “Terrible” Script

by

According to a new report, Jason Momoa plans on leaving the Aquaman saga after Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Apparently, the film is so subpar, it has given the actor a desire to separate from the franchise. Therefore, the franchise’s future is up for some serious debate. There are rumors that test screenings for the film are going terribly. Some viewers thought it was the worst DCU movie yet. Others walked out of the theater. Also, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is also the last film in the DCU storyline that Momoa started. That makes it hard for audiences to get excited about the film.

A reliable insider, Jeff Sneider, is a reporter for The Ankler, an editor for Below the Line, and a film critic and columnist for LA Magazine. Thanks to him, fans have some insight as to Momoa’s future in the DCU. According to him, he heard that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is “terrible” and “Momoa is going to be Lobo going forward.” He added, “But they can’t say that yet because then it would be a lame duck… and DC is hoping to wring another billion out of the box office. The first one was awful too, so not a huge surprise.” For those who don’t know, Lobo is a cosmic mercenary and bounty hunter that many heroes don’t like. He’s supposedly set to be the villain for 2025’s Superman: Legacy.

Earlier this year, Momoa made some intriguing statements before all the new DCU announcements. He posted that he’d gotten “great news with Warner Bros.” and specifically thanked James Gunn and Peter Safran. Gunn and Safran are the DC Studio leads. Therefore, Momoa seems to know what’s next between him, Warner Bros., and the DCU. Fans know that Momoa has a strong admiration for Lobo and no one would be surprised if he took the opportunity to play the character.

Fans are unsure whether or not Momoa was teasing Aquaman 3 or his dream role playing Lobo. Previously, Comicbook.com’s Brandon Davis pointed out that Gunn posted a social media post with a photo of Lobo. Apparently, Momoa’s reaction was very suspicious. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that fans will know about Momoa’s fate in the DCU until the Aquaman sequel is released. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will release to theaters on December 25, 2023.
