It has been reported earlier Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom The extensive reshoots took place after Warner Bros. decided to end the DCEU and start over with James Gunn’s DCU, while Aquaman A sequel was still in production.

Instead of Keaton, Ben Affleck Batman A cameo reportedly made its way into the film because the original version of the film required Batman’s presence.

Now, in a new interview with UPI to promote his upcoming film Wanted manActor Dolph Lundgren reveals that the reshoots changed a lot more than just the removal of DCEU cameos.

“My opinion is that I thought the original script was great. I was a big part of it and Amber Heard was a big part of it,” said Lundgren.

I continued, “The studio decided, I think, to just reshoot a bunch of footage to try to reconstruct a slightly different storyline. It’s difficult because you can’t reshoot the whole movie“

However, Lundgren is a veteran actor and it seems he’s not losing any sleep over the lesser role. “When you start inserting different story elements into something (that had) unity that worked, then you can run into trouble. It was a bit disappointing for me. I was a little disappointed, but life goes on.“

Amber Heard also previously maintained that her role as Mera was downplayed in the sequel but now we have Lundgren backing up Mera’s claim. Of course, claims that Heard’s role was diminished stemmed from her high-profile defamation case with Johnny Depp.
