Johnny Depp feels 'lucky' after Amber Heard trial as she returns to 'Aquaman' in controversial move

foxnews.com:

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are moving on from their controversial defamation trial. Depp, 60, has "closed the chapter" on the six-week court battle months after the final verdict, a source close to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor told People. "He feels incredibly lucky to do what he loves," the Depp source added.

Meanwhile, Heard appears to be "doing much better now," amid her return to the spotlight following her bombshell defamation trial against her ex-husband, People noted.

Despite Heard, 37, feeling "honored" that she’s reprising her role of Mera in the "Aquaman" sequel, she confessed to Deadline she feels "pressure." When comparing the DC Comics film to her Indie movie, "In the Fire," she explained that both come with compromises.  "There’s a ton of pressure on these big franchise movies, with millions and millions of dollars at stake, and compromises are part of trying to make it the most successful thing it can be," she told the outlet.

Heard portrays "Mera" in the film, working alongside Jason Momoa, Dolph Lundgren and Willem Dafoe.The second film, "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," will be released later this year. "Then, on the other end of the spectrum, is a small indie film like ‘In the Fire,’ a work of art and work of love, with nowhere near the same resources, and so there are compromises there," she continued.
