The therapy session notes that emerged during Amber Heard’s trial with Johnny Depp have shed light on some substantial allegations concerning the conduct of Jason Momoa and James Wan on the set of ‘Aquaman 2’, Variety reports.

The allegations made by ‘The Danish Girl’ star, who plays Mera in the ‘Aquaman’ film series, have sent shockwaves through Hollywood. The claims apparently point to a strained environment that may exist behind the scenes of one of the DC Extended Universe’s (DCEU) most anticipated sequels.

Heard’s allegations have ignited a fiery discussion within the industry, with many casting doubt on the legitimacy of her claims. Currently, both the ‘Dune’ star and Wan have chosen not to comment on these allegations.

This silence has only amplified the speculation and fueled the rumor mill among both industry insiders and fans. Here, we analyze the most significant details from the therapy session notes of Heard’s trial with Depp, including claims regarding Momoa and Wan’s purported behavior.

As per court documents disclosed last month and procured by Variety, Amber Heard, aged 37, characterized her co-star as being “intoxicated” and “late on set.” These descriptions were noted by clinical and forensic psychologist Dr Dawn Hughes, who was enlisted by Heard’s legal team to provide testimony.

The psychologist’s notes further reveal that ‘The Danish Girl’ alleged that Momoa, aged 44, turned up on the set of the DC Studios superhero film “dressing like” her ex Depp, wearing “all the rings.”

As per People, DC Studios stated, “Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. We’re excited for audiences to see the film this December.” The actress has not yet responded to this startling report.

The recent court documents include notes from Dr Hughes that suggest Heard claimed Momoa “wanted me fired” from the sequel, as reported by Variety. Per the report, Heard was nearly dismissed from ‘Aquaman 2’.

The decision was reportedly made by the studio and director James Wan, who sent a letter to Heard’s lawyer confirming her release due to a perceived lack of chemistry. It’s alleged that the decision to let her go was made well before Johnny Depp filed his lawsuit against her in 2019.

The report further clarifies that Jason was not involved in this decision. However, a source disputes the claim of a lack of chemistry between Momoa and Heard, citing a screen test the two actors allegedly did together before Heard was cast as Mera years ago.

Heard also alleged that there was friction with director James Wan on the set of ‘Lost Kingdom’, which was filmed toward the end of 2021: “He raised his voice @ me — ‘I can’t even post about Aquaman’ — made it like it was my fault – I said ‘I’m sorry.’ Nobody could take selfies with me on set given blackout.”

In response to these allegations, a spokesperson for DC stated, “James is known for treating members of his cast and crew with the utmost respect and for fostering a positive, collaborative environment on set — the ‘Aquaman’ films were no exception.”

Amber Heard’s continued involvement in ‘Aquaman 2’ is reportedly linked to her former boyfriend, Elon Musk, with whom she had a relationship for about a year following her split from Johnny Depp.

Variety reports that Musk had one of his attorneys send a strongly worded letter to Warner Bros, essentially warning them not to remove Amber from the sequel. The letter was described as a “scorched-earth” approach, threatening to “burn the house down” if Amber was not included in the film.

According to Variety, two scenes featuring Amber Heard were reportedly removed from ‘Aquaman 2. One of these scenes involved a fight sequence between Mera, played by Heard, and Black Manta, portrayed by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. The other was a romantic scene between Heard’s character and Jason Momoa’s Aquaman.

Despite these cuts, Heard was briefly featured in a single moment in the film’s official trailer. ‘The Danish Girl’ star was also prohibited from taking selfies with anyone on set and sharing film-related content on her social media platforms.

Warner Bros disinvited her from FanDome and attempted to remove her from ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’, but a united front presented by co-star Jason Momoa and director James Wan remained committed to her inclusion, as cited by The Things.

Amber Heard’s battle for Atlantis

James Wan was apparently questioned last month about Amber Heard’s diminished role in ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’. Heard, who played Princess Mera, was expected to have a significant role in the sequel due to her on-screen marriage and role as Queen Mera of Atlantis.

She stated during the defamation trial that she had to struggle to keep her role in the sequel due to the adverse publicity caused by the legal dispute. DC Films president Walter Hamada admitted that there were talks about replacing Mera, but attributed it to a lack of rapport between Heard and Momoa.

Heard’s role was downsized in the trailer, but the film primarily focuses on Aquaman’s relationship with his brother, Orm, played by Patrick Wilson. Wan noted, “I felt like I told the Arthur and Mera story in the first one, that I can just focus on Arthur and Orm in this one.”

Jason Momoa reportedly unfollowed Amber Heard on Instagram

According to a source, Jason Momoa has reportedly unfollowed Amber Heard on Instagram, and there are claims from a source reported by Variety that he has even blocked her on the platform. The much-anticipated ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ is scheduled for release in theaters on December 20.

Currently, due to the actors’ strike, Amber and Jason are not permitted to participate in any promotional activities for the movie. If the strike is lifted, it remains uncertain who will be primarily involved in the movie’s promotion.
