Heard, who plays Mera, the wife of the DC Comics superhero Aquaman, reportedly "violated" her contract after she "did not pass her physical examination" for the role. After sources reported that Heard was fired from the movie several months ago, however, the beginning of filming has confirmed that Heard will be returning to the franchise. Fans of Aquaman are calling for the removal of the actress amid her legal battles with her ex-husband, Johnny Depp. People have taken to Twitter to call for Heard's removal with some questioning why she was not fired while Depp was fired from the Fantastic Beast franchise. Others have called for viewers to boycott the movie when it is released. Back in February, Australian website Sausage Roll and YouTube channel PopCorned Planet claimed that the actress "violated" her contract after a source revealed Heard "put on some pounds". "Amber Heard did not pass her physical examination," the source reportedly told Brisbane-based Sausage Roll. "Shes put on some pounds and is in terrible shape. There is a clause in her contract which says she is required to be in good form ahead of shooting and she violated that."
