Last year’s libel trial in Virginia began when Depp, 60, sued his ex-wife for defamation over a 2018 op-ed that included abuse allegations. After pirates of the Carribean the actor won three lawsuits and Heard won one of her three counterclaims, she paid him a million dollar settlement.

During their lengthy legal conversation, Heard testified that her role as Mera in the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom she became “very pared down” amid public attention on her personal life. Franchise director James Wan said last month that her character was never intended to be a major part of the sequel.

“I fought hard to stay in the movie,” Heard testified. “They didn’t want to include me in the movie.”

“I got the script and then new versions of the script that took out scenes,” she added. “They basically took a bunch out of my role. They just took a bunch out.”

Walter Hamada, then president of DC Films at Warner Bros., testified in court that there were discussions among producers about the “lack of chemistry” between Heard and Momoa, and that her defamation trial had no bearing on the size of her role in the second installment of the franchise. “The character’s involvement in the story was what it was from the beginning,” he said of Mera.

Heard’s talent agent Jessica Kovacevic testified at the time that she believed the attention the actress received during the televised trial against Depp had a negative impact on her career.
