Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is currently scheduled for release on March 17, 2023. However, Warner Bros. Discovery’s recent earnings call sparked speculation that its release date may get bumped, per The Hollywood Reporter.
It’s presently unclear why the film faces postponement. But it’s probably not due to Amber Heard headlines, as Warner might also delay Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
The news comes just a few days after TMZ relayed that Amber Heard recently sold her Southern California home. Ensuing speculation suggested she might need the money to pay for her ongoing legal battles with ex-husband Johnny Depp.
TMZ reported that Amber Heard sold the desert home in Yucca Valley, California, for $1.05 million — twice what she paid for it.
2022: A Horrible Year For Amber Heard
In June, a jury found Heard guilty of defamation against Depp. The decision resulted in a $10.3 million award for Amber Heard’s ex-husband. With a verdict additionally awarding Heard compensatory damages of $2 million, she is on the hook for $8.3 million.
Heard’s attorneys claim she can’t afford to pay that amount.
Last month, Heard and her legal team filed an appeal of the jury’s decision.
A spokesperson for Amber Heard told news and media outlets that they believe they have adequate grounds for appeal.
“We believe the court made errors that prevented a just and fair verdict consistent with the First Amendment,” they said. “We are therefore appealing the verdict. While we realize today’s filing will ignite the Twitter bonfires, there are steps we need to take to ensure both fairness and justice.”
Heard’s attorney, Elaine Bredehoft, publicly mentioned numerous perceived errors during the case proceedings. For example, they believe the jury was improperly vetted and another is that they were not properly sequestered.
The guy in court that runs wB said they paid her for her work. So I don’t think she has a dime coming to her.
She shouldn’t have gotten caught in a lie, like some occurrnce where Johnny Depp supposedly threw Kate Moss down some stairs in a Jamaican hotel, that Kate Moss came on screen in the courthouse to discredit Amber Heard”s version, she spent the whole proceedings grasping at straws seems like, trying to put on a half baked acting performance which pissed off the jury rather than win over the jury with her half baked sally sob story.
She can’t afford to pay- well she probably shouldn’t have made up this horrendous story to ruin a man’s life. She lied, and lied and lied again and the jury saw right through her. Sequestered- hmm this is not a murder case it’s a civil suit you don’t sequester a jury for this type of circus. Jury not vetted- they were ALL agreeing on the jury UNTIL she lost. Elaine is only worried about her getting paid she could care less if Johnny gets his money. They are all frauds and Elaine should be disbarred for the lies she allowed her client to tell. Who the hell takes on a case with no physical evidence- I mean come on the rape allegations- all this destruction after them and Amber took nice neat little pictures of things she would use in her story. She needs to be in prison.
