A film executive has now shared details about this topic.
Depp won a defamation lawsuit against Heard in 2022 which stemmed from an op-ed she penned for The Washington Post in 2018, discussing domestic violence.
Throughout the trial, both parties exchanged a series of alarming accusations against each other.
She expressed that she had to fight “really hard to stay in the movie” and noticed that with “newer versions of the script,” her scenes were “taken away,” according to MailOnline.
He mentioned that there were discussions about possibly recasting Heard’s role due to lack of chemistry with Momoa.
Filmmaker James Wan also shared insights with Entertainment Weekly, stating that the decision for Heard to have a smaller role was part of the original plan for the sequel.
Despite the discussions surrounding her role, Heard did make an appearance in “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” although her participation was significantly reduced.
