Amber Heard Shines as Aquaman’s Queen of the Waves
At the London premiere of Aquaman, the 32‑year‑old actress won’t stop bragging about her new role as the fierce Mera.
What Makes This Queen Badass
“When I first hit the script, I was hooked by the idea of a warrior queen.
I’d say, ‘Do I get a sword and a crown?’ and the answer was, ‘You bet! You’ll be rocking that.’ That’s how Amber got instantly sold on the character.”
She laughed about the modern take the film is taking: Aqua vibes 2.0, and that Mera isn’t a side‑kick but a powerhouse in her own right.
Who is Mera?
Mera, the Aquaman love interest (aka the big red‑nosed marine side‑kick), brings a mix of underwater wizardry with telepathy. She literally “makes the water do what it wants,” and that’s a pretty cool superpower to brag about.
Co‑Star Chemistry
Her days on set had billion‑case energy collisions with Jason Momoa. 39‑year‑old Momoa is all that “adventure spirit.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better co‑star,” Amber says. “Momoa’s VIBRATIONS and enthusiasm are contagious—like an infection of pure joy. You need that when you’re filming 18 hours a day for months.”
When the crew can’t keep them both from starting obsessions about donuts, at least the chemistry in their scenes feels like a natural hybrid of electric and watery.
Behind The Scenes
Between coffee breaks, long hours, and the occasional splash of deep‑sea light, the duo create a raw, human reel that audiences are sure to get a taste of.
So, if you’re looking for a modern superhero that creates a thrilling maritime adventure while flaunting a good personality, jump in. Amber Heard’s Mera is here to level up your hero game!
