While there may be some romance between the pair, the set reports make it clear that Mera (Amber Heard) won't simply be playing the typical love interest, but instead that she and Arthur will be more like equal partners. Speaking to JoBlo, Heard said:

"This is very much a story where they are equal partners. Because they come from different worlds, their strengths are very different. Where one excels in one world, the other is a fish out of water. Pun intended. [Laughs] I guess I’ll be saying that a whole lot. Just gonna get used to owning it! But it’s true. Mera, when she’s on the surface world, it’s very much an alien world to her. Same way that when Arthur is in Atlantis, he’s completely out of his element."

There are also some further details about Mera's powers, which will include hydrokinesis, which means she can control water - a power that will be used at various points across the movie.
