The upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom reportedly left a lot of scenes on the cutting room floor.
During a recent episode of The Hot Mic podcast, co-hosts John Rocha and Jeff Sneider discussed the recent report from Variety that revealed two of Amber Heard’s scenes had been cut from the Aquaman sequel. According to Sneider, Heard wasn’t the only person to have scenes cut, noting that upwards of 20 total scenes were removed from the film.
“So Amber Heard had two scenes cut, do you think those are the only two scenes cut? No, well…maybe of her,” Sneider said. “I’m told there were like 20 scenes cut, 20 scenes basically cut from [Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom], and two of them featured her.”
