Amber Heard claimed Jason Momoa dressed like Johnny Depp on ‘Aquaman 2’ set, tried to get her fired: report

Amber Heard and Jason Momoa reportedly had a frosty relationship on the set of “Aquaman 2.”

A bombshell exposé published by Variety Tuesday claimed Johnny Depp’s ex-wife had major tension with the “Game of Thrones” alum while shooting the superhero sequel.

“Raw notes” from Heard’s appointments with her therapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes — which were seen by Variety — allege Momoa, 44, was drunk on set and tried to have the actress booted from the flick.

“Jason said he wanted me fired. Jason drunk — late on set. Dressing like Johnny [Depp]. Has all the rings too,” the notes read.

A spokesperson for DC refuted the account, telling the outlet, “Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.’”

Elsewhere in the report, a source with knowledge of the behind-the-scenes drama claimed Heard, 37, was at risk of being let go from the film — until her then-boyfriend, Elon Musk, allegedly penned a scathing letter to Warner Bros.

The insider said the Telsa founder had one of his attorneys send a “scorched-earth letter to Warner Bros. threatening to burn the house down” if the “Rum Diary” star was fired from the blockbuster.

The threat allegedly worked because, according to Variety, the Hollywood studio “caved” and ultimately “moved forward” with Heard.

The SpaceX owner, 52, and Heard dated on and off from 2016 to 2018. She had previously been married to Depp from 2015 to 2017.

Reps for Musk, Heard, Warner Bros. and DC Studios have not responded to Page Six’s requests for comment.

There was a renewed interest in Heard’s onscreen performance as Mera during her highly publicized defamation trial with Depp in 2022.

The “Never Back Down” actress alleged during her testimony that studio executives at Warner Bros. did not want to “include” her in the sequel due to the ongoing legal drama with her famous ex-husband.

“I was given a script and then given new versions of the script that had taken away scenes that had action in it … and they basically took a bunch out of my role,” she claimed in court.

A spokesperson for DC denied Heard’s account, saying Momoa “conducted himself in a professional manner at all times.”

However, DC boss Walter Hamada disputed Heard’s account during his testimony, insisting that her role being minimized had nothing to do with Depp.

“I think editorially they were able to make that relationship work in the first movie,” he said.

“But there was a concern that it took a lot of effort to get there and that would we be better off finding someone with more natural chemistry with Jason Momoa and move forward that way.”
