Amber Heard Reveals Her Fee For Aquaman and Aquaman 2
When questioned about her contract to feature in the superhero franchise, Heard explained “It’s structured like a three-picture option. I signed on to do Justice League, where my character was introduced. The fee is small relative to what it will become if and when you do the other options or movies under that umbrella. So it was the contract for Justice League, which could then become Justice League 2, or it could be Aquaman or it could be some other movie within the DC Universe. And the second picture ended up being Aquaman, and the third being Aquaman 2. And each time the fee goes up.”
She went on to reveal that she got $1 million for Aquaman apart from “box office bonus opportunities”. Heard further revealed that she made $2 million for the sequel, Aquaman 2.
