Rumor has it 'Aquaman 2,' starring Amber Heard, is SO BAD, it's not even being marketed



"Aquaman" was a box office hit, however, like most Hollywood movies — the sequel is shaping up to be a disaster.

While the pandemic threw a wrench in its development, one of its lead stars was embroiled in the middle of a messy and extremely public court case.

That court case was between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, which ended in Heard being almost completely written out of the "Aquaman" sequel.

“There are even rumors out there that the studio is so skeptical about how this film is going to perform at the box office that they’re not even bothering to market it,” Lauren Chen says, because they seem to recognize that they’re going to lose money doing so.

The film has reportedly undergone its third set of reshoots since it finished principal photography in January 2022 and cost around $200 million to make.

“Personally, I think that number is probably artificially low,” Chen says, noting the number of reshoots. “Anytime I hear that a film has had to undergo a reshoot, it’s kind of a red flag in my mind.”

Even the director, James Wan, has said he’s “had to make adjustments along the way,” which only confirms Chen’s belief that this film is likely to crash and burn.

As for test screening, there have also been reports that people have actually been walking out of screenings of "Aquaman."

“I’m not going to go into exactly what the alleged scene that caused people to walk out of the film is, but I mean, if it’s true — let’s just say it would in fact be a very disturbing scene to see in any movie,” Chen says.

There are now even rumors that Jason Momoa’s role in the DC Universe, which fans had previously been told was secure, is also up in the air.

“I guess we’ll just have to wait and see,” Chen adds.

Netflix's new 'Depp v. Heard' documentary is FEMINIST PROPAGANDA



Netflix isn’t known for its neutrality, and according to Lauren Chen, the streaming giant’s new “documentary” about Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s court case, "Depp v. Heard," is no exception.

Chen believes that even after Depp’s vindication in the courtroom, some people are incapable of letting go of the battle between the two, especially “establishment Hollywood weirdos as well as feminist activists.”

“Spoiler alert,” Chen says, “essentially what this documentary does is try to play defense for Amber Heard the entire time.”

During the trial, Heard was questioned about her claim that she donated her $7 million divorce settlement from Johnny Depp to charity when, in fact, that has yet to happen.

Heard told Depp’s lawyer that was incorrect and that she had “pledged” to donate — not actually donated — the $7 million and that she still intended “to fulfill those obligations.”

“That’s not an actual donation, that is a pledge. And the fact that the words donate and pledge mean different things and Amber was saying that she had donated when she had actually only pledged and hadn’t actually given the money yet — that is something that 99% of people, I think, agree on, that this was a lie,” Chen says.

However, the documentary claimed that this “was just one example of social media being unfair to Amber, because yeah, there are times when people use those terms interchangeably,” she adds.

Chen believes that while the documentary was supposed to be about the trial between Depp and Heard, it really just complained about the treatment Heard faced on social media during the trial.

“There was a strange undercurrent throughout the episodes, where it’s almost as if the filmmakers were trying to blame Johnny Depp personally for what strangers said about Amber online,” Chen says.

“I just find it interesting how, apparently, these filmmakers have a problem with the harassment or cancel culture that Amber Heard faced. However, they said nothing about the fact that this entire court case and this entire saga was actually started by Amber Heard herself when she wrote that op-ed for the Washington Post,” she adds.
