Peter Safran dismisses social media drive by Johnny Depp supporters to remove Heard from the DC sequel: 'You gotta do what’s best for the movie'

Safran continued: “One is not unaware of what is going on in the Twitter-verse, but that doesn’t mean you have to react to it or take it as gospel or accede to their wishes. You have to do what’s right for the film, and that’s really where we landed on it.”

Heard and Depp divorced in 2016 after a whirlwind marriage and have since lobbied allegations of domestic abuse against each other. Depp then sued the UK tabloidfor a 2018 article that called the actor a “wife beater.” An audio recording was introduced at the libel trial where Heard

Yay

I'm not on the controversy train but Heard is a shit excuse for a human being just from recent videos released showing her character. When the fans say no, dont dismiss us like we don't matter. We fans are about to sink your film at the box office by refusing to see this movie.

They're just going to wait until it's legally proven in court that AmberHeard fabricated the entire abuse claims even though the evidence has been available to the public for years. Don't take us for fools! JusticeForJohnnyDepp FireAmberHeard

I will be boycotting Aquaman 2. Amber needs to have a consequence for her behaviour boycottaquaman2

Ok thats fine Enjoy your bomb

Never forget that by the court of appeal in London Amber Heard is a husband beater.

Who wants to watch a movie with a person in it, who promised 3.5 mill to sick and dying kids, then told the world that she has donated the full amount but in fact never gave a dime? That talentless actress does not care about sick and dying kids.

They think it's Johnny Depp fans who are boycotting when it's basically people who are against abusers and double standards-

Doesn't seem like a wise decision to dismiss over 10 million people, but hey!

I wouldn't even trust her not to beat a dog! I would never let her alone with a baby.

I'm very concerned about the baby she adopted. Her history of fighting and going off all the time is not makes me fear for the babies safety I mean this is the baby you're talkin about

So when Amber goes to jail for lieing in court how much money will the studio loose that's filming the movie. Will they cut her out of the film or get someone to replace her. Re shooting is expensive

Then there is the baby she adopted for publicity I don't know how a judge in her right mind would let that happen with the history she has a physically abusing people maybe the producer can save the baby hope she doesn't hit the baby

They can use her to yell at the crew after the producer looses his voice from fighting with the director about her not remembering her lines or showing up on time and then there's her Deva demands. She thinks she us one. 😆

Well of course he will dismisses it. His job is to do what the production company wants & support them. He can use her to shake down the crew for craft service beer money. She use to ruffing up people.

Thank you Peter Safran, now we’ll be boycotting this trash called Aquaman even harder. AmberHeardIsAnAbuser BoycotrWarnerBros

does peter safran knows how to read the room?

She's fucking Peter that's why she wasn't removed

Can someone please tell people that not everything in life is going to be the way they want it.

Now please, don't be ridiculous and stop doing political press. I am a feminist but this woman does not represent anyone. And changes in a society are not made by shutting up one of its sides, leave the hypocrisy. Don't be so sold. And yes ! justiceforjohnnydepp

“Johnny Depp supporters” fucking hell…🙄

let them say it to all these people🤘

if you think about it, it will be much more fun if the movie fails than just removing it.

Fire thee but not the BJ queen.

I don't know why pseudo-journalists refer to us as 'fans'. I am an abuse survivor, a counsellor of abuse victims, an artist and an activist. I can't name all of Mr. Depp's films. I can recognize narcissistic abuse, because I deal with it every day. I stand with victims. Always.

nope. never gonna watch any of the movies shes in 😑

You guys gotta get over 'Johnny Depp Fans' thing. 70% of twitter users who supports Johnny depp are not even his fans, they just want justice and equality. JusticeForJohnnyDepp FireAmberHeard

Aquaman 2 producer Peter Safran shows his support for an Abuser and Racist AmberHeardIsAnAbuser ThereFixedIt

Oh please Hollywood Reporter. You love this crap. You wrote a hit piece on Johnny Depp. You should’ve written a retraction with all that’s out in the public. Once the truth is revealed you should do the right thing and do so.

Fuera Locas... 😞😞 Asquito.

Hollywood needs to stop employing abusers & racists like realamberheard BoycottAquaman2 WhitePrivilege Karen AmberHeardIsAnAbuser

Yeah, I'll be watching Minamata with a fine actor with actual substance. You shame the film industry, such as it is. Big corps are not it these days. BYE!

This Amber Heard? Mera

Great PR Pete, 🙄

The producers of Aquaman 2 hope to cash in on the inevitable media frenzy next year surrounding the courtcase which will be around the same time the movie is released. They are hoping Depp's name will draw attention to the movie. Heard is a nobody, but her ex is 'A' list.

Well just like the first movie this will be unliked too

Se lo guarderanno loro due

That s Smart Not To Remove Her In Aquaman 2

A good man with morals

Telling the people who watch your movies that their opinions don’t matter is never a great, that’s before you tackle the whole they’re supporting an abuser issue

Bye~ JusticeForJohnnyDepp AmberHeardIsALiar BoycottAquaman2

JusticeForJohhnyDepp

Heard has already confessed that she was the one who was abusive.

How to best describe like Let these 2 do filming in their upcoming films and must stay away from each other for the rest of their lives.

The thing is some actors have been on a blacklist for far less or No actual valuable reasons. Here is a case where it has been proven her wrongdoing and still she will be a top cast of a movie. Dont get me wrong I am all for people changing and second chances but this is too new.

Glad they keep her. I think she is perfect as Mera. Can’t wait for the movie to come out ✌️

I hope people don’t go see the movie then, I know I won’t be seeing it.

😡

You should report on this AmberHeardIsACriminal

Won’t watch then, bye bye

He doesn’t understand the power of fandom. I for one will not be watching this film like I did the last one. There’s evidence of this woman being physically abusive too. It’s a disgrace. Guarantee this movie will suffer at the box office due to her remaining in the cast.

This film will be dismissed forever.

This mans judgement is clearly off anyway 😂😂 good luck with another flop sir I’m sure your use to it

I’ll watch it online

That’s a lot of text just to say Safran backs up an abuser like Heard. 🤷‍♀️ JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Don't believe that for one second, HE is just an asshole! 🤷‍♀️ ALL socialmedia is full with Johnny Depp support 🔥❣ How about their sponsors I bet when example trailers and premieres are running finally, they don't like the content that is coming justiceforjohnnydepp

Imagine if the genders were reversed. The studio would have fired the talent instantaneously.

At this point fuck it bring back Kevin Spacey and Armie Hammer.....

JusticeForJohnnyDepp

JusticeForJohnnyDepp

🤬

he’s hittin it.

They are doing the right thing.

For gods sakes bring back Johnny Depp

JusticeForJohnnyDepp

the best thing for the movie would've been to fire Amber and recast her, there's already so much backlash against her & the movie because of her, I wouldn't be surprised if it affects the box office earnings. I'm just worried the sequel is going to flop because of her.

Fuck the movie Accountability Entertainment

You can explain as much as you want and you can try and convince people to see this shit fest, but with Amber Heard in it I’m not giving this movie one fucking cent of my money!

So the victim loses his acting gigs and character rights and the abuser gets to keep her job and gets whiteknighted by her boss? Sounds about right as far as America's legal system is involved, women win settlements 99% of the time, no matter how egregious their actions.

Legend behavior

Auqaman Boycott.

Setting aside the fact that her behavior has already wrecked other movies...

IF YOU WANT TO WATCH IT WAIT TILL YOU CAN STREAM FOR FREE! realamberheard and THE PRODUCERS DO NOOOT DESERVE TO PROFIT JusticeForJohnnyDepp

AmberHeardIsAnAbuser AmberHeardIsALiar

Comic books 'fanboys' don't care about abuse and assault as long as they get what they want from the movies.

Shocking and disgraceful in our era of awareness of domestic abuse. So hypocritical it’s disgusting they’re keeping an abuser on while Johnny got fired.

If she was a man that stance would not be accepted at all. And asking JD to resign was certainly not what was best for that shit show fantastic beasts franchise 🥴

Amber Heard is a proven and self-admitted domestic abuser that has committed perjury and fabricated evidence. Peter Safran states they don't care of these facts as well as stating that fans' opinion doesn't matter. However, he is still happy to collect their money? No thanks.

Because she’s a woman and only men are evil

Now if she’d have been a he….yep would have been cancelled without a second thought!

There's a reason no one had Heard of her before she married Depp. And there's a reason why her lack of talent will rise to the surface again.

Yup Depp fans are just really vocal on social media and really put in so much effort to comment on every post regarding AmberHeard doesn’t really reflect worldwide sentiment Aquaman 🤷🏻‍♂️

it's fine if you don't remove her, just don't bgo pointing fingers when the movie doesn't make money.

Uh those Depp Fans that actually think anyone would fire her cause of that woman beating junky... a judge had enough proof for that. So Depp Fans come and get me for doesn't caring about Ur personal probs with folks u don't even know in Person

She is totally GoneGirl abuser! No money to this movie! Hospitalised her ex, stoled rapestory and abused her assistant, hit her ex, cans, bottles at her ex, hit exgirlfriend, got arrested, stolen charity money, perjuries. She is a criminal for all this 🙄 AND REALLY BAD ACTRESS!

Controversy aside she's just not that great of an actress. They could do so much better than her.

If Amber Turd is still in this movie as much as I loved the first and Jason I will not be watching.

Straight to streaming...

1)They didn’t want to pay her out because of the contract.. 10 million for doing nothing and residuals ?!? 2) because relevancy matters, the audience like seeing the same people in sequels, Imagine if they recast Jason... more money for WB 3)She’s banging someone

😡🖕🏻

No one should ever pay money to watch this crap then

I am going to Jack Sparrow this movie.

“You gotta do what’s best for the movie.” Coming from someone at Warner Bros, that’s just hilarious. As is the claim that they never just bow to pure fan pressure.

I don’t see this one making anywhere near the BO the first one made.

She’s HOT. I could care less about anything else. Hollywood & morality DO NOT MIX!!! Never have. Never will. Entertain me. That’s it.

so doing best for business with aquamanmovie they seem to be forgetting that by their own actions will not bring in viewers and therefore killing any chance of profit

Being Mr Depp fan dosent give us the right to try to deprive his x from her career life she deserves.

The world knows what to do with idiots like AH and every single individual who supports her. The results will show. When karma hits, you won't even realize what happened.

Not saying he’s right or wrong, but oh man, dude is about to get dragged.

Then I know i won’t pay money to see this

Best for the movie will be recasting her.

0 box office then!

Cuz she’s banging at least a couple of the producers most likely. That’s how it works in Hollywood

I can't read this. Did it say anything other than 'money money money'?

Probably her most recognized character since she has always had supporting roles because realamberheard is a mediocre actress.

💙👑 aquamanmovie

queen

amber ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was gonna watch it to support the other actors, but nah. They really just said F dem fans. Wow Do movies make their money in a different manner now? They can’t just go by ticket sales. They act like they the viewers don’t count anymore.

Everyone in that franchise getting into trouble except Black Manta and Raoul. 😑

Oh lets see Aquaman2 producers PeterSafran JamesWan if Millions of People wallets have Zero affect on your Movie JusticeForJohnnyDepp boycottaquaman2

It’s just noise on social media. Doesn’t really reflect the bigger picture

Booooo

👀

The real question is, who still watches movies just for Amber Heard?

Meanwhile JohnnyDeppIsAWifeBeater ☕😎

Ok, now I'm def not gonna pay to see this movie.

I don’t understand why the just won’t recast mera

So, the Depp trolls invested so much time to create pointless petitions to remove her. 😆 A petition based on nothing leads to nothing. At least you tried it 😆 Aquaman

I reject that trash… AmberHeardIsAnAbuser

Johnny Depp Before Court: Amber Heard shitted in my bed Johnny Depp After Court: FuckJohnnyDepp HeLied AmberHeard JohnnyDepp

Cuz only men get to be vilified in abuse cases and the women, who are the abusers, get to live life with consequence for their actions

It’s a BS campaign based on assumptions, lies and an online trolling campaign by a small ammount of people. Nobody should be influenced by such things and nobody should be fired based on such things.

So the truth about Heard won't end her career, but the lies about Depp will end his.

🖕🏼 amber heard

That's great and all, but we don't have to buy tickets. It sucks for the other actors and crew involved but ultimately it's a consumer product, and consumers will vote with their wallets one way or another.

Fans should finally start working properly again, then they won't have time for such stupid campaign nonsense.
