10 New DC Extended Universe Characters To Look Out For In 2017
6. Mera
Who's Playing Her? Amber Heard.
Who's Amber Heard? If you don't already know who she is via the current publicity surrounding her divorce of Johnny Depp, then you'll likely recognize her thanks to her appearances in films like Pineapple Express, Zombieland, The Rum Diary, Magic Mike XXL, and The Danish Girl.
What's She Appearing In? Justice League.
Why You Should Be Excited: Several of Aquaman's supporting characters will be turning up in the film ahead of appearing in his solo adventure in 2018, his wife and Queen of Atlantis included. Though they've had their issues over the years, Aquaman and Mera have always found their way back to one another, physically and emotionally, with Mera herself never shying away from a fight when the time calls for it. Mera probably won't have much to do in Justice League, but setting up their relationship this early on is a good way to sow the seeds for the solo film and establish Aquaman himself as a character, and hopefully Heard can give fans a queen worth looking forward to seeing more of down the line.
