New Aquaman 2 Cover Shows Off Amber Heard’s Mera (Photo)


The embattled Amber Heard’s take on Atlantean princess Mera took the spotlight in fresh Aquaman 2 tie-in artwork.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, out in December, will see Arthur Curry’s (Jason Momoa) return to the undersea kingdom of Atlantis.

Along for the ride in a limited, supporting role is Mera, played again by Amber Heard. The actress was previously in the spotlight (and the headlines) during the very public defamation lawsuit between herself and her ex-husband Johnny Depp.
It was at the end of that trial that Heard was found guilty, making her role of Mera in Lost Kingdom a particularly controversial one.

Amber Heard’s Mera Featured on Comic CoverA new variant cover (via AIPT Comics) for the upcoming comic Birds of Prey #4 features art from Sun Khamunak of the DCEU’s Aquaman and Mera, portrayed by Jason Momoa and Amber Heard respectively.
It might come as a surprise to some that DC Comics elected to use the artwork of Heard’s take on Mera, given the actress has been engulfed in significant controversy.

The comic cover shows a slightly-stylized rendition of Mera and Arthur, with the latter having his trident at the ready:
A close-up view of Mera shows that she’s wearing the outfit she wore in the original Aquaman film from 2018. Could this mean that this will be the character’s main look in the sequel?

A side-by-side comparison between Khamunak‘s work and the live-action Mera can be seen below:
What Are Aquaman and Mera’s DCU Futures?DC fans will surely know by this point that James Gunn and Peter Safran have been named co-CEOs of DC Studios and are hard at work developing a complete revamp of the DC Universe on film, and in television, video games, and animation.
But where does this leave Momoa’s Aquaman and Heard’s Mera? Well, for starters, it’s been heavily speculated that not only is Jason Momoa out as Arthur Curry but that the actor will likely take on a new role in the renovated DCU. The rumor mill continues to swirl with claims that he’s been offered the part of the interstellar bounty hunter and Superman adversary Lobo.
As for Amber Heard, it would seem as though Gunn and Safran don’t really have plans for her moving forward, especially when considering her past legal battles. It seems quite probable that she’ll be treated in a similar way to The Flash star Ezra Miller, in that Heard won’t really be allowed to engage with Aquaman 2 or any future DC projects.
DC’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will hit theaters on December 25.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
