Amber Heard On The 'Pressure' Of Aquaman 2 In The Midst Of DC Disappointments

Amber Heard is opening up about the "pressure" of starring in Aquaman 2 in the midst of recent DC disappointments.

In an interview with Deadline, Heard said that she felt "a lot of pressure" to make sure that Aquaman 2 was a success, especially after the disappointing performance of other DC films like The Flash and Black Adam.

"There's a ton of pressure on these big franchise movies, with millions and millions of dollars at stake, and compromises are part of trying to make it the most successful thing it can be," Heard said. "Then on the other end of the spectrum is a small indie film like In The Fire, a work of art and work of love, with nowhere near the same resources, and so there are compromises there. The best luck you can have as an actor is to be able to balance both."

Heard also said that she was "excited" to see how fans react to Aquaman 2, which is scheduled to be released in December 2023.

"I'm excited to see how people respond to it," Heard said. "I'm excited to see how people respond to Mera, and I'm excited to see how people respond to the story."

Aquaman 2 is the sequel to the 2018 film Aquaman, which was a critical and commercial success. The film grossed over $1.1 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing DC film of all time.

Heard's comments come at a time when DC is facing some challenges. The studio has had a string of recent disappointments, including The Flash, Black Adam, and The Batman.

However, there is still hope for DC. Aquaman 2 is one of the studio's most anticipated films, and it could help to turn things around for the franchise.

Only time will tell whether Aquaman 2 will be a success. However, Heard is confident that the film will be well-received by fans.

"I think people are going to love it," Heard said. "I think they're going to be really excited about it."
