Heard has countersued for $100 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid you speak to Jason Momoa about chemistry issues between he and Amber Heard?\u201d Heard lawyer Elaine Bredehoft asked Walter Hamada, President of DC-based film at Warner Bros.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Hamada replied.<\/p>\n<p>Bredehoft did not follow up to ask Hamada about what specifically was said, but the executive detailed concerns from the producer about the duo\u2019s lack of chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing, Hamada explained that \u201cmagic\u201d had to be done in post-production of the movie to help boost the onscreen chemistry between the two actors, including adjusting the movie\u2019s score and picking the right combination of takes to use.<\/p>\n<p>When Bredehoft suggested this was all commonplace, Hamada agreed, but emphasized that \u201ca lot of effort\u201d had to be done post-production, adding, \u201cthe chemistry wasn\u2019t there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heard\u2019s legal team has argued that their client was not boosted in the film\u2019s sequel due to statements from\u00a0attorney Adam Waldman.<\/p>\n<p>During the same deposition, Hamada contradicted statements from Heard about being \u201creleased\u201d from her \u201cAquaman\u201d contract.<\/p>\n<p>The executive said Heard was never released from her contract, but that Warner Bros. exercised their \u201coption,\u201d as the contract outlined. He also noted \u201cAquaman 2\u201d was pitched early on as a \u201cbuddy comedy\u201d between Momoa and actor Patrick Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>Heard testified this month that she was let go from her \u201cAquaman\u201d contract and had to \u201cfight\u201d to stay in the film, which is still an uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey released me from my contract,\u201d the actress told Depp attorney Camille Vasquez. \u201cAnd I fought to stay in it, and they kept me in it. I just don\u2019t know how much I\u2019m in, actually, of the final cut.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if I will even be in the final cut or how much I will be,\u201d the 36-year-old added. \u201cIt was difficult to stay in the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathryn Arnold, an entertainment expert witness for Heard, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/23\/johnny-depp-amber-heard-live-trial-coverage\/\">argued<\/a> on the stand Monday that Heard and Momoa had great chemistry in the \u201cAquaman,\u201d and if not for claims from Waldman, Heard would have earned around $50 million over the next five years.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Arnold said Heard\u2019s career is comparable to Momoa, Gal Gadot, and Zendaya, among others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/amber-heard-claims-she-was-released-from-aquaman-contract-might-not-appear-in-sequel\">Amber Heard Claims She Was Released From \u2018Aquaman\u2019 Contract, Might Not Appear In\u00a0Sequel<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Warner Bros. executive testified by video deposition on Tuesday that \u201cAquaman\u201d star Jason Momoa talked to him about \u201cchemistry issues\u201d with Amber Heard, who played Momoa\u2019s love interest in the film.
