Amber Heard confirms she’s in ‘Justice League’ and ‘Aquaman’

Amber Heard has confirmed that she has a big role in the DC Comics movie universe. She’s joining the films as Mera, Aquaman’s wife.

Heard, 29, was first linked to the part back in January, but it wasn’t until she sat down for an interview with Entertainment Tonight this week that she confirmed the role.

“It's interesting. It's like, half suit of armor, half scales,” she said of the character's undersea costume. “It's strange... We're in the process of building it now, so it's coming along.”

Although Jason Momoa will make his debut as Aquaman in next week’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Mera won’t be introduced until Justice League Part One opens in November 2017. She will also be in the Aquaman solo feature, which will be directed by James Wan.

Heard will next be seen in London Fields. Last year, she starred in Magic Mike XXL and The Danish Girl.
