She commented, “They basically took a bunch out of my role. They just removed a bunch.”
However, when it was time for Depp’s counterarguments, another explanation was provided regarding why Heard’s screen time was reduced.
During a video deposition, Walter Hamada, the executive producer of “Aquaman,” claimed that Heard’s role was not cut down and that her character was always intended to be less prominent.
He mentioned that there were discussions about possibly recasting Heard’s role due to lack of chemistry with Momoa.
“They didn’t really have a lot of chemistry together,” Hamada revealed (according to The Independent).
