In an interview with Entertainment Tonight posted on March 17, Heard confirmed her casting and said her Mera costume for “Justice League” and “Aquaman” will be very unique.

"It's interesting. It's like, half suit of armor, half scales," Heard said. "It's strange... We're in the process of building it now, so it's coming along."

Amber Heard will make her first appearance as Mera in the movie “The Justice League Part One,” which is due out in November, 2017.

For Heard’s Mera role in “Justice League” and “Aquaman,” the actress will work with two different directors. “Justice League Part One’ will be directed by Zack Snyder, while “Aquaman” will be directed by James Wan (“Furious 7.”)

“Justice League: Part Two” is also on the books, and it’s already being planned for a June 14, 2019 premiere.
