FROM CINEMA BLEND:
How Terrible Are Justice League Costumes? Amber Heard Shares Funny Video Struggling Hard As Mera
By Corey Chichizola
The DC Extended Universe is an interesting place, and moviegoing audiences are always being kept on their toes. That was definitely the case with Zack Snyder's Justice League, which revealed the titular filmmaker's original four-hour vision for the project. Reshoots saw a number of actors reprising their roles, including Amber Heard as Mera. She recently shared a funny video from the set, showing the struggle of wearing Mera's suit.
Amber Heard's Mera made her DCEU debut in Justice League's theatrical cut, but the character was expanded in the Snyder Cut. Along with a spiffy new accent, Heard also participated in reshoots to make the new Knightmare sequence into a reality. Heard recently shared a video from her trailer, revealing that her cool suit prevented her from having mobility.
While Amber Heard looks thoroughly badass in her suit from Zack Snyder's Justice League, it looks like it prevented her from being able to move. Luckily, her appearance in the Knightmare Sequence is relatively brief, so she only had to film for a few days to bring Mera back to life.
The above video comes to us from Amber Heard's Twitter, and peels back the curtain on what it's really like making a DC blockbuster. While taking a break from the set, Heard returned to her set to relax. But that's easier said than done, as she's unable to actually sit down while suited up. She also couldn't bend, despite dropping a green juice and trying to clean up the mess.
Amber Heard's tenure in the the DCEU is available on HBO Max. You can use this link to sign up for the streaming service.
Mera's role in Zack Snyder's Justice League was expanded, so she got a bit more screen time than the theatrical release. Fans were also shocked to hear the character have a British accent, as that wasn't an aspect of the character the theatrical cut of Justice League or the Aquaman movie. And since she popped up like a badass in the Knightmare sequence, there's renewed interest in Amber Heard's character.
