Kneel before your Queen... Amber Heard IS Mera!

[John-An]

Which actress would you like to be seen in the role of the wife of the King of Atlantis?

I'd have one choice.

Eva Green.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I love Eva Green and would love to see her as anything in the DCCU.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Gemma Arterton maybe?

 

[Boy Scout]

Has Anna Kendrick done any serious movies?

 

[Charlatan]

Emily Blunt

 

[Verick808]

Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, or Katee Sackhoff for me.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Basically suggest any redhead in Hollywood.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Jessica Chastain or Margot Robbie would suit the character very well.

 

[Charlatan]

Basically suggest any redhead in Hollywood.

Emily Blunt is a proven action actress.

yeah she looks good as a redhead too.

And DC needs to lock her down before Marvel gets her to play Ms Danvers

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Jessica Chastain or Emily Blunt

DC needs to lock her down before Marvel gets her [...]

Firstly, I don't accept that playing a role in one studio's movies should prevent you from playing a different role in the other's. There are an endless conveyor belt of comic book movies at the moment, and it is only going to get worse, so we will reach the situation where almost every actor of note in the Hollywood circuit (except for Daniel Day Lewis) has appeared in one.

Secondly, Emily Blunt is one of the best actresses around at the moment. No disrespect to Mera or to Aquaman in general, but she should be given a meatier and more complex role. Any number of actresses could play Mera.

So she's too good for Mera but okay to play co-star to Cruise? In an Aquaman solo film Mera could have quite a "meaty" role. And as to the point of only being in one superhero studio's films that's usually a part of the contract. it's a standard non compete clause.

 

[regwec]

It's a stupid non-compete clause, as WB/Marvel movies are no more directly in competition with each other than they are with any other generic, dumb blockbuster. Contracts are negotiated, and the negotiating power of a proper actress like Blunt will be higher than other potential candidates for the part. I doubt many respectable actresses are desperate to do comic book movies, and they should resist any silly clauses of such nature.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I like Blunt and would love to see her in a lead role but lets not overstate her star status here. She's never gotten an Oscar nomination and she still hasn't really had that big break out role. Edge of Tomorrow was well reviewed and didn't bomb but it was a box office disappointment.

 

[regwec]

I'm not overstating her star status, but her capability and talent, which is far higher than many of her peers'.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I understand your opinion of Blunt as an actress, I think it's clouding your opinion of what she can and can't turn down and what she is probably being offered.

And make no mistake I'm not saying that I want her for this role because I don't actually.

BTW, someone like Chastain definitely isn't happening so I don't get that suggestion.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

has to be blunt.

 

[regwec]

If, taking an inference from the casting of Momoa, the Atlanteans are to have darker looks than their comicbook counterparts, I would suggest someone like Indira Varma for consistency.

 

[aNarcHy2day]

Well, we could always take "Badass" to the next level and cast Michelle Rodriguez as Mera!

No one will dare to make fun of Aquaman ever again!

 

[Charlatan]

but Orin isn't pure Atlantean.

 

[Sawyer]

Charlotte Riley

Olivia Wilde

 

[Loki882]

Alexandra Daddario.

 

[John Locke]

Has Anna Kendrick done any serious movies?

Up in the Air.

 

[Boy Scout]

Is it good?

 

[Silvermoth]

I think it's really good. Probably the best film I've ever seen george Clooney in
