With all that, it’s no surprise that Heard has amassed a truly impressive body of work over the years. Here are some of her most notable performances.
Magic Mike XXL
Perhaps one of Heard’s most memorable performances was her turn as Zoe in Magic Mike XXL, the sequel to 2012’s Magic Mike. In the film, Heard played an attractive and sultry singer who joins the cast of the male strippers on their road trip to Tidewater, South Carolina.
Heard shined in the role, showing off her dancing abilities in the few scenes that required her to do so. She had great chemistry with costar Channing Tatum, and her performance was a great addition to an already all-star cast.
The Danish Girl
In 2015, Heard starred opposite Eddie Redmayne in The Danish Girl. Based on the real-life story of a transgender pioneer, this film was heartbreaking, yet inspiring to watch. In the film, Heard played Oola, the wife of one of the main characters who struggles to accept her husbands transition.
Heard delivered a heartfelt and nuanced performance. Her performance went beyond just lip service and showed the audience what it would have been like for a woman in that era to come to terms with her partner’s transition.
Aquaman
Heard’s most iconic role to date is undoubtedly that of Mera in the DC Extended Universe’s Aquaman franchise. In the first installment of the franchise, Heard played the fierce and sassy queen of the ocean, taking on the villain Black Manta for much of the film.
Heard gave Aquaman an extra bit of punch with her performance. Fans loved watching her interact with Jason Momoa’s character both on and off-screen, and her chemistry with him was palpable. Her spunky individuality and determined mentality were also very well received.
Computer Chess
Computer Chess was a unique and highly original take on the comedy genre. In the movie, Heard played a curious outsider who disrupts the lives of a group of computer nerds during a chess tournament.
Heard was captivating in the role, providing a lot of much-needed comic relief to the otherwise dry and repetitive plot. She was also able to create an endearing character in a surprisingly small amount of screen time.
Her
Heard also had a small part in Spike Jonze’s electrifying drama Her. Set in the not-so-distant future, the film follows Theodore Twombly as he falls in love with an A.I. computer program voiced by Scarlett Johansson.
Heard played Twombly’s co-worker who finds out he’s in an unconventional relationship with a computer program and has to help him through it. It was a difficult role to play, but Heard was able to make her character both sympathetic and understanding. It was a minor role, but it was still important to the overall structure of the film.
Just to a Name a Few
The films mentioned above are just a few of the great roles Amber Heard has taken on over the years. She also had roles in films such as The Rum Diary, Machete Kills, and All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. Her performances in these films showcase just how versatile and talented an actress she is.
Heard has proven time and again that she is one of the most talented stars in Hollywood today. With her impressive body of work, she will undoubtedly continue captivating audiences for many years to come.
