Justice League: First look at Amber Heard as Aquaman character Mera

The costume certainly fits the comic-book aesthetic

If you thought Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman was jam packed with superheroes, just wait until you see the upcoming Justice League.

First, the film is set to introduce Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, Ray Fisher’s Cyborg, Ezra Miller’s The Flash (to a certain extent), J. K. Simmons’s James Gordon, Willem Dafoe’s Nuidis Vulko, and Julian Lewis Jones’s unnamed character.

That's already a long list, but remember, the film also sees the return of Ben Affleck’s Batman, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, Amy Adams’s Lois Lane, Jeremy Irons’s Alfred, and Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor. Oh, and Snyder needs to resurrect Henry Cavil’s Superman.

Along with all these characters, Amber Heard’s Mera will also debut in the film, Snyder having now given us a first look at the Queen of Atlantis and wife of Aquaman. The costume certainly fits the comic-book aesthetic, a shame about the ridiculously dark filter.

Recently, a behind-the-scenes clip from Justice League was released, showcasing the film’s lighter tone in comparison to Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad.

Meanwhile, in other DC news, Ben Affleck has revealed the title of his solo-Batman film, The Batman, saying: “The movie I think is going to be called The Batman. At least that’s what we’re going with right now. I might change it… That’s about all I got right now. We’re working on the script, the script is going well, I’m really excited about it.”
