I'll take a Mera if Hot Toys ever releases one.

I enjoyed the first film far more than I was expecting, and by all rights would be excited for this sequel but I can't watch this new movie with the studio and director pushing so hard to keep Amber Heard despite all the terrible, awful **** she has pulled.
Continuity in these films is nearly a crapshoot anyway and no one particularly cared when they re-cast War Machine or Hulk in Marvel (which treats continuity as the golden rule) so why not replace this awful untalented trash human?
I get that she's pretty but for gods sake she is an abusive, gaslighting, lying, manipulative sociopath and to top it all off SHE CAN'T EVEN ACT.... what do we lose by replacing her with a talented actress who is also a decent human being?

First Aquaman was surprisingly great and I imagine this one will be too.
I’m not a fan of any of the cast members, but James Wan is the true star of the show.
To each their own, but I wouldn’t allow an actor’s hazy domestic troubles to deter me from seeing an excellent super hero film…I’m sure most of the folks in these films have far worse things going on at home…none of my business as long as innocent children aren’t being harmed.

Well, I guess HT will not be making a Mera figure for this one either….With her role significantly diminished as Heard claimed herself…Oh well…
yup. Apparently in the current cut, she only has about 10mins of screen time but word is she could ultimately be completely cut out of the film entirely depending on how the trial turns out.

I wouldn't be so sure, as InArt recently announced they will be doing a 1/6 mera
I think it doesn't really have any bearing on what HT will do though.

Totally agree.
Ha! Well, I think they'll produce Aquaman...but that's it. Keep your eye on the Black Adam movie to see what they do. There's about a 3 figure potential there so let's see how many they actually produce.

Hot Toys never ceases to surprise me with their disdain for DC. Everyone here was certain that they would at least produce a TSS Harley no matter what because “Howard…this and that…” still waiting.
Now this movie will actually be financially successful, unlike TSS, so there’s that…but we will see…

Has anyone seen the newly announced Black Manta from the first film by Mars Toys? He looks fantastic.

Looks like SooSoo are doing their own version of Black Manta too so we’ll see what he’s like…

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS1!!1@
I hope it's a big role so he's gets a lot of screen time. High hopes James Wan will do him justice as well. With him "back," this gives Henry Cavill continuing as Supes a higher chance!
Here's another tidbit. Ironhead Studios, who did the BvS suit, also did Aquaman. If they return for 2, they might work on his suit again. We might have a heard turning Batfleck yet again?
Love this guy, lol.

very awesome. I got excited when I saw it as well.
I wouldn't get my hopes up for a big role just yet. Apparently he's just doing a Bruce Wayne appearance, not a Batman appearance. Just the part that Keaton was originally supposed to cameo for since Aquaman 2 was supposed to come out after the Flash. But since it's now coming out before The Flash, it doesn't make sense for Keaton to show up in this movie when the way he gets into the DCEU is via The Flash movie. So now it's been tweaked for Affleck to show up so the timeline of the movies make more sense. Still, I'm always excited to see more Affleck as Bruce Wayne and it would be nice to be surprised with potentially a little something extra.
