'Exhausted' Amber Heard has no plans to return to Hollywood, will focus on raising her daughter
COSTITIX, SPAIN: 'Aquaman' actress Amber Heard seems to have no plans of returning to Hollywood anytime soon, choosing instead to remain in Europe and focus her attention on raising her daughter, Oonagh, aged 18 months.
With the 36-year-old opting to take a break from the movies for the next few years, the future of her role in the 'Aquaman' movies is again in question. While no sequel has been announced as of yet, an article from Marca suggests that she will be absent from the entire press tour scheduled to take place in 2023. Consequently, director James Gunn will have to make the call of keeping or doing away with 'Mera', the character portrayed by Heard opposite Jason Momoa in the DC movie.

Johnny Depp REFUSES to pay Amber Heard $2M awarded to her in trial, argues verdict was 'erroneous'
Heard has been living in Europe almost immediately after the trial against ex-husband and 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star Johnny Depp. An insider close to the 36-year-old told People, "The trial was exhausting for her," adding, "She missed her little girl." Furthermore, the actress seems to be loving her time in Europe since she "is able to just be a mom there." Residing overseas with Oonagh, for the time being, allows the actress to be "focused on raising her daughter." The source spoke of the activities of the mother-daughter duo. "She spends every day with her girl. They stroll around, visit parks and enjoy family time. Amber is a great mom."
Notably, the infamous trial had concluded with the seven-person jury finding Heard guilty of defaming Depp in an op-ed published in 2018. While Depp was awarded over $10 million in damages, she won one of her countersuit claims and was awarded $2 million in damages. While her request for a mistrial was rejected in July, Depp's legal team recently appealed the verdict that makes him pay $2 million in damages to Heard on Wednesday, November 2, in the Virginia Court of Appeal.
With the Hollywood leading lady choosing to live in Spain for the foreseeable future, one can assume she has no other projects lined up. It had been earlier reported that her career was "toast in Hollywood" with everyone backing Depp after the trial concluded. In more recent updates, the actress quit the micro-blogging platform Twitter soon after her ex-boyfriend, Elon Musk took over the company.
