Amber Heard reportedly has a small amount of screen time in her new movie: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
The Hollywood actress is believed to have 20 minutes of screen time and while she does say some lines, she reportedly only has a measly 11 in total. Instead Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa and Patrick Wilson take centre stage in the film. Yahya Abdul-Mateen and Nicole Kidman are also in the mix.
The movie is a sequel to Aquaman's 2018 debut and follows Black Manta (played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen) as he wields the power of the mythic Black Trident to unleash an ancient and malevolent force. Hoping to end his reign of terror, Aquaman forges an unlikely alliance with his brother, Orm, the former king of Atlantis.
Setting aside their differences, they join forces to protect their kingdom and save the world from irreversible destruction. According to Business Insider, Amber shows up for a few action sequences but is ultimately largely removed from the main plot despite her and Jason Mamoa's characters sharing a child together, who is a main part of the plot.

Amber barely stars in the movie (Publicity Picture)The set of Aquaman 2 was reportedly a very hostile place for Amber Heard, with bombshell therapy documents claiming her co-star Jason Momoa fought to have her fired from the film. The actress has alleged Jason would turn up drunk to filming and dressed like Johnny Depp amid her explosive defamation trial with the Pirates of the Caribbean actor.
The claims were made in newly released documents from Amber's therapist, Dr Dawn Hughes, which were used as part of last year's high-profile trial. The documents, which were obtained after fans of Johnny paid the court fees for their release, show Amber claiming: "Jason said he wanted me fired. Jason drunk — late on set. Dressing like Johnny. Has all the rings too."
A DC spokesperson hit back at Amber's claims. They told Variety : "Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom." Another insisted the actor did not turn up drunk to set. They added: "And he isn't dressing like Johnny Depp. He has always dressed in that bohemian style."

"He raised his voice @ me — 'I can’t even post about Aquaman' — made it like it was my fault – I said 'I'm sorry'," the notes read. "Nobody could take selfies with me on set given blackout."
A DC spokesperson told Variety that James treated all members of his cast "with the utmost respect". The Mirror has approached representatives for Jason, DC Studios, Amber and James for comment.
