Aquaman 2 star Jason Momoa allegedly arrived on set drunk, calling for his co-star Amber Heard to be fired.
Amber Heard has faced an immeasurable amount of hate over the last few months, following the results of the Johnny Depp V Amber Heard defamation trial, in which the star took her partner to court for alleged abuse charges.

The results were in Johnny Depp’s favour, leading thousands to call for Heard’s termination from ongoing and future film projects, including the unreleased DC film, Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom.
Recently though, it was reported that Heard’s co-star Jason Momoa also called for her to fired from the film, and took some drastic measures to try to make it happen.
The report comes from leaked documents from the Depp V Heard trial which were published online by the Reddit users who acquired them. In the document, there’s a note that says Jason Momoa supposedly arrived on set for the Aquaman sequel dressed in a style reminiscent of that of Johnny Depp's, and demanded Heard be axed from the project.
It’s being said that Heard was only kept in the film because of her former boyfriend Elon Musk, who she dated for around 18-months. Musk apparently got a lawyer to send a letter to Warner Bros, threatening to "burn the house down,” if Heard wasn’t allowed to stay, prompting the production company to backpedal.
Both Warner Bros and DC have provided statements denying Jason Momoa acted in such a way on set, with Warner Bros saying: “Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.”
DC added: "James is known for treating members of his cast and crew with the utmost respect and for fostering a positive, collaborative environment on set — the Aquaman films were no exception."
Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom, is set to be released on 20 December, and will round off the DCEU before it’s rebooted by James Gunn.
