Unconditional love. Is that what this is? The tech genius Elon Musk seems to have threatened Warner Bros so that Amber Heard can keep her job. The actress could secure her role in ‘Aquaman 2′ due to her ex-boyfriend. The Tesla CEO has sent a letter to Warner Bros via his legal team. However, this has upset the DC fans.
DC is on a run to bring out a hit from its banner. With recent movies ‘Black Adam’ and ‘The Flash’ unable to hit the expected mark, ‘Aquaman 2’ holds so many expectations. Having Amber Heard in the film may affect the film due to a defamation lawsuit between the actress and Johnny Depp. Adding to the heap is the fact that Elon Musk threatened Warner Bros.

Elon Musk Sent A ‘Scorched-Earth Letter’ To Warner Bros.
The former girlfriend of Elon Musk, Amber Heard was on the verge of losing her role in the upcoming movie ‘Aquaman 2’. It’s rumored that there were tensions between the actress and the star Jason Momoa and director James Wan. But the Tesla CEO put on the superhero cape so that Amber Heard could continue as superheroine Mera. According to Variety, the multibillionaire had a “scorched-earth letter to Warner Bros. threatening to burn the house down” if Heard lost her role.
Since the ‘Drive Angry’ actress retained her role, it seems like the supposed letter probably worked. However, the actors or the production company have yet to comment on the validity of the letter. The highly publicized defamation case with Johnny Depp in 2022 is what caused the actress’ exclusion from the film. This ‘In the Fire’ had recounted during the lawsuit how her scenes had taken off the script. However, back then, the DC boss Walter Hamada pointed out how the lack of chemistry between Amber Heard and Jason Momoa led to the actress losing her role.
