According to early reports and trailers, Aquaman 2’s runtime was alleged to be cut down by the removal of multiple DC cameos, as well as uncertainly over Amber Heard’s role of Mera.

Speaking to EW last year, director James Wan stated “We have big actors in this movie, and everyone’s schedule is really hard. So, we had to break up our shooting schedule into sections.

“People are like, ‘Oh, they’re doing a whole bunch of different shoots!’ No. If we actually combined them all together, it’s actually not that many number of days at all.”
