Amber Heard Confirms JUSTICE LEAGUE and AQUAMAN Role, Talks About Her Costume

Early this year, a rumor popped up that actress Amber Heard would be playing the role of Mera in Warner Bros. and DC's cinematic universe. In the comics, Mera is a badass warrior who becomes Aquaman's wife. The rumor indicated that Mera would first appear in Justice League — Part 1 before playing the female lead in the Aquaman solo film.

Now Heard herself has confirmed all of those rumors, and in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight (via CS), she spoke about her costume:

“It’s interesting. It’s like, half suit of armor, half scales. It’s strange…We’re in the process of building it now, so it’s coming along.”

Sounds like it'll be comparable to what we've seen of Jason Momoa's Aquaman costume thus far. I haven't really been a fan of anything Heard has done in her career thus far, but I'm hoping it's just because she hasn't been a good fit with the material; maybe playing a warrior badass will be more up her alley.

Zack Snyder is directing Justice League — Part 1, which is scheduled to hit theaters on November 10, 2017, and James Wan is directing Aquaman, which will arrive on July 27, 2018.
