Jason Momoa‘s Aquaman may have the ability to talk to fishes, but he’d probably get pretty lonely if they were only creatures around for him to hang out with. Fortunately, it looks like he’s getting some company down in the deep blue sea. Amber Heard is reportedly in talks to join the superhero adventure as Mera, who has some formidable powers of her own.
THR breaks the news that Heard is in negotiations to join Warner Bros.’ DC Extended Universe. If Heard closes her deal, she’ll be the female lead opposite Momoa in the standalone Aquaman movie being directed by James Wan for release in 2018. But first, she’ll make her debut in Justice League: Part One, due out in 2017. (Part Two follows in 2019.) Mera, who first appeared in the comics in 1963, is a love interest to Aquaman. Her special skills include controlling water, with which she can even form “hard water” objects.
Heard currently co-stars in The Danish Girl with Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander. She was also seen last year in Magic Mike XXL, and hit the festival circuit with the thriller London Fields.
Justice League: Part One begins shooting this spring for release on November 17, 2017. Aquaman follows several months later on July 27, 2018.
