Amber Heard was almost removed from Aquaman 2 before Jason Momoa and director James Wan fought to keep her on.

在杰森-莫莫阿和導(dǎo)演溫子仁爭(zhēng)取讓她繼續(xù)工作之前，安柏-赫德幾乎被從《海王2》中刪除。

During the high-profile Johnny Depp libel case, entertainment consultant Katherine Arnold (via The Wrap) testified that Heard was almost booted from the Aquaman sequel due to negative publicity surrounding the case.

在備受矚目的約翰尼-德普誹謗案中，娛樂(lè)顧問(wèn)凱瑟琳-阿諾德（通過(guò)The Wrap）作證說(shuō)，由于圍繞該案的負(fù)面宣傳，赫德幾乎被趕出了《海王》續(xù)集。

“In February 2021, there were conversations that Amber’s, I’m going to be technical with you, her option for employment was not going to be exercised. So, they may not have hired her again,” Arnold said. “Her management team fought very hard, and they ultimately ended up hiring her, but not only because of what her management did, but also because star Jason Momoa and director James Wan committed to her.”

"2021年2月，有談話說(shuō)，安柏，我跟你說(shuō)句技術(shù)性的話，她的就業(yè)選擇權(quán)不打算被行使。所以，他們可能不會(huì)再雇用她，"阿諾德說(shuō)。"她的管理團(tuán)隊(duì)非常努力地爭(zhēng)取，他們最終還是雇用了她，但不僅僅是因?yàn)樗墓芾韺铀龅?，還因?yàn)槊餍墙苌?莫莫阿和導(dǎo)演溫子仁對(duì)她的承諾。"

Heard previously claimed that her Aquaman 2 role was “pared down” following her split with Johnny Depp.

赫德之前聲稱，在她與約翰尼-德普分手后，她的《海王2》角色被 "縮減 "了。

According to Arnold, Warner Bros. was ready to fire Heard from the upcoming sequel to shed any negative publicity associated with the ongoing case.

據(jù)阿諾德說(shuō)，華納兄弟準(zhǔn)備從即將到來(lái)的續(xù)集中解雇赫德，以擺脫與正在進(jìn)行的案件有關(guān)的任何負(fù)面宣傳。

However, Warner Bros. chief Walter Hamada said that’s not the case.

然而，華納兄弟公司負(fù)責(zé)人沃爾特-濱田說(shuō)，情況并非如此。

“They didn’t have a lot of chemistry together,” Hamada said as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. “The reality is it’s not uncommon on movies for two leads to not have chemistry and it’s sort of movie magic and editorial — the ability to put performances with the magic of a great score and how you put the pieces together, you can fabricate that chemistry.”

"他們?cè)谝黄饹](méi)有太多的化學(xué)反應(yīng)，"Hamada說(shuō)，正如《好萊塢報(bào)道》所報(bào)道的那樣。"現(xiàn)實(shí)是，在電影中，兩個(gè)主角沒(méi)有化學(xué)反應(yīng)的情況并不罕見(jiàn)，這有點(diǎn)像電影的魔力和編輯--把表演與偉大的配樂(lè)的魔力和你如何把這些碎片放在一起的能力，你可以編造這種化學(xué)反應(yīng)。"

Hamada claims that this lack of chemistry is what led Warner Bros. to consider booting Heard.

濱田稱，這種缺乏化學(xué)反應(yīng)的情況是導(dǎo)致華納兄弟考慮開(kāi)除赫德的原因。

“At the end of the day when you watch the movie, it looks like they have great chemistry,” he explained. “But I just know that through the course of postproduction, it took a lot of effort to get there. Sometimes you just put characters together on the screen and they work. It’s like what makes a movie star a movie star. You know it when you see it. The chemistry wasn’t there… This one was more difficult because of lack of chemistry between the two.”

"在一天結(jié)束時(shí)，當(dāng)你看電影時(shí)，看起來(lái)他們有很好的化學(xué)反應(yīng)，"他解釋說(shuō)。"但我只知道，通過(guò)后期制作的過(guò)程，花了很多努力才達(dá)到這個(gè)目的。有時(shí)，你只是把人物放在屏幕上，他們就能發(fā)揮作用。這就像使電影明星成為電影明星的原因。當(dāng)你看到它時(shí)，你就知道了。化學(xué)反應(yīng)并不存在......這一次更難，因?yàn)閮扇酥g缺乏化學(xué)反應(yīng)。"

Asked directly if Heard’s role was ever “reduced,” Hamada confirmed that it wasn’t.

當(dāng)被直接問(wèn)及赫德的角色是否曾被 "減少 "時(shí)，濱田確認(rèn)沒(méi)有。

He explained that the upcoming sequel was always conceived as a “buddy comedy” between Aquaman and his half-brother, King Orm, played by Patrick Wilson. And it had been that way “from the very early stages of development”.

他解釋說(shuō)，即將到來(lái)的續(xù)集一直被設(shè)想為水行俠和他的同父異母兄弟奧姆國(guó)王（由帕特里克-威爾遜飾演）之間的 "伙伴喜劇"。而且 "從發(fā)展的早期階段 "就是這樣。

Aquaman 2 stars Jason Momoa as DC’s underwater superhero alongside Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, Temuera Morrison, Dolph Lundgren, and Jani Zhao.

《海王2》由杰森-莫莫阿飾演DC的水下超級(jí)英雄，與安柏-赫德、妮可-基德曼、帕特里克-威爾遜、特穆拉-莫里森、多爾夫-隆格倫和賈尼-趙一起演出。

James Wan directed the film based on a script by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick.

溫子仁（James Wan）根據(jù)大衛(wèi)-萊斯利-約翰遜-麥克德里克（David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick）的劇本執(zhí)導(dǎo)了這部影片。
