Amidst the ongoing defamation trial between former couple American actor Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, a petition on change.org with the topic “Remove Amber Heard from Aquaman 2” has surpassed three million signatures.
The online petition hit the milestone on Tuesday 3 May, and just hours before Heard is due to take the stand in the defamation trial brought by her ex-husband Johnny Depp.
The actor is suing Heard for $50m (£38.2m) over a 2018 op-ed in the Washington Post. Depp alleges that Heard implied he had abused her over the course of their relationship, which he denies.
He claims Heard’s article cost him major movie deals, including the Pirates franchise, and adversely impacted his professional standing in Hollywood.
