During her trial against the Pirates of the Caribbean star, she spoke about how her role in the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was reduced.

Many fans of Depp even wanted her role to be scrapped off the entire movie as they believed she defamed her ex-husband by making up lies about herself being a victim of domestic abuse.

However, producer of the movie, Peter Safran, confirmed Heard’s role in the Jason Momoa starrer, noting, “Amber is a valued member of our cast.”

“Her portrayal of Mera has played a pivotal role in the success of the franchise,” he added. “We are excited to have her back for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.”
