- Amber Heard’s screen time in the upcoming film Aquaman 2 has been boosted, despite claims that she will not appear in the film due to her loss in the widely publicised defamation lawsuit
- According to a rumour in the Spanish newspaper Marca, The Rum Diary star would get about 20 minutes of screen time in the highly anticipated superhero flick.
According to the publication, Warner Bros. convened a meeting to determine whether or not Heard will appear in the final edit of the film, which also stars Jason Momoa in the lead role.

The studio chose to keep the actor in the picture, although with additional screen time, after it was earlier believed that the 36-year-old would only have 10 minutes in total.
Heard had stated during her libel lawsuit that she had to battle to stay in the film and that her role had been reduced short.
“They liberated me from my contract,” she told the court. I struggled to remain, and they kept me there.”

“I’m not sure if I’ll even make the final cut or how much I’ll be paid,” Heard added.
When asked about the changes made to her script, she stated, “I was given a script and then given new versions of the script that had removed scenes that had action in them that depicted my character and another character — without giving any spoilers away — two characters fighting with one another.”
“They really took a lot of my responsibilities away from me.” “They simply took a bunch out,” she explained.
