Heard confirmed that she'd signed on to return as Mera last year, but many fans have been up in arms since it came to light that she lied about certain aspects of the legal case against ex partner Johnny Depp - and about donating her settlement to charity - and some feel she should be held equally (or at least partially) accountable since the accusations cost the actor his part in Fantastic Beasts 3.
We recently found out that Game of Thrones alum Pilou Asbaek was in final talks to join the cast, though no details on his role were provided. Patrick Wilson (who's been sharing some photos of his own) and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are also expected to return as Ocean Master and Black Manta, respectively.
We still don't know what to expect from the plot, but it's assumed that Manta will be the main villain this time. There's also a good chance that The Trench will feature more prominently, given director James Wan's fondness for the deep-sea terrors.
