deliberates on the verdict of their blockbuster defamation trial, Amber Heard and Johnny Depp are preparing for more blockbusters.Namely, Heard is slated to appear in two films: “Run Away With Me” and “In the Fire.”According to IMDb, “Run Away With Me” follows an American in Paris who falls helplessly in love with a model before they discover the “criminal underworld” of the modeling industry in Europe.

Meanwhile, Heard plays a New York psychiatrist in “In the Fire,” set in the 1890s, who visits a Colombian plantation to “care for a disturbed boy.” While treating the child, she sparks tension with a priest who believes the boy is possessed.These listings on Heard’s IMDb page follow her appearance in next year’s “Aquaman and the Last Kingdom,” in which her role was significantly cut.While people, including Heard, speculated that her part in the movie was reduced due to the circus surrounding the trial between her and ex-husband Depp, Walter Hamada, the president of DC Films, shut the rumor down.“The size of the role in the film that she had was determined in the early development of the script, which would be in 2018,” he testified during the trial. “The character’s involvement in the story was sort of what it was from the beginning.”But Heard isn’t the only one basking in the limelight.

Depp — who was seen performing onstage over the weekend as the jury deliberated — is rumored to be cast in the “Beetlejuice” sequel, directed by Tim Burton.Eagle-eyed fans spotted Depp’s unmistakable name on the cast list online, raving about his possible on-screen feature.“If they really do plan on making Beetlejuice 2 starring Johnny Depp, it will be the highest-grossing film of the year it is released,” speculated one Twitter.
