An online petition has been launched demanding Camille Vasquez to replace Amber Heard as Mera in Aquaman 2 after Johnny Depp scored a huge victory over ex-wife in the defamation case. The jury upheld Depp’s charges against Amber Heard and awarded him a compensation of $15m in damages. The jury also awarded Heard $2m in damages saying that she too was defamed by Depp after being called a liar.
The case, which drew the attention of millions of people from around the world, brought the spotlight on Depp’s 37-year-old glamorous lawyer, Camille Vasquez. Such was her popularity that she became a bigger internet sensation during the trial than the Hollywood actor. Now that she has managed to win the case for her client, an online petition has been launched demanding her to replace Heard as Mera in Aquaman 2.
The petition on Change.org read, “Although Amber is a ‘credible’ actor and has actually demonstrated it on many occasions, not just in films or ‘perhaps’ on the stand. If Camille is half the actor she is as a lawyer this will be an absolute blockbuster of a film.”

The suggestion that Camille should replace Heard in Aquaman 2 as Mera evoked favourable response from netizens. One wrote, “She is the only one who can put the movie out of misery and maintain or increase revenue.” Another commented, “Never seen these movies but camille would make it worth watching.”

I have never been so interested in a trial but I am so happy Johnny Depp won and feels he has received his reputation back, all that’s left now is for amber to be either totally cut out of aquaman 2 or be replaced by queen Camille

It’s highly unlikely that Vasquez will consider the idea of making a transition from being a high-profile lawyer to acting even if it means replacing Amber Heard. It’s also impossible for anyone else to replace Heard since the idea has been mooted simply too late. Produced by Warner Bros. Discovery (WB Discovery), Aquaman 2 is in the post-production stage after the shooting came to an end in January this year.
