Dolph Lundgren has nothing but good things to say about his Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom co-star, Amber Heard. Following a petition to remove Heard from the sequel, which received over 4 million signatures, Lundgren weighed in with his thoughts about the actress. According to reports from The Independent, Lundgren spoke with Redline Steel CEO Colin Wayne and had this to say:
She was great. I worked with her on the first Aquaman, now the second one. We shot last fall in London. She's terrific, I had a great experience with her. She's very kind, nice to the crew, nice to everybody, just down to earth. She had her newborn baby with her on set with the nanny which was kind of cute."
Throughout the trial, multiple celebrities have voiced their support for Heard and others for Depp. Heard is being sued for $50 million by Depp, her ex-husband, for allegedly implying he abused her in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed. According to The New York Times, Depp's talent manager claims the actor lost out on a $22.5 million pay-day with a role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Depp was also asked to resign from Fantastic Beasts 3, after filming one scene. The role would be given to Mads Mikkelsen, who replaced Depp from thereon.
Depp's manager, Jack Whigham, testified at the Fairfax County Circuit Court that the actor verbally agreed with Disney to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a proposed sixth film, but it became abundantly clear that Disney was "going in a different direction" in 2019.
The Verdict is in

The actress released a statement through her Twitter account shortly later, expressing her disappointment with the decision.
