Heard and Depp duked it out for six weeks in Fairfax, Virginia, before a seven-member jury found the Aquaman star guilty of defaming the Pirates of the Caribbean alum. However, she did emerge victorious in one of her three defamation counterclaims.

Heard relocated to Spain with her daughter Oona following the highly publicized trial, with some rumors suggesting she was done with Hollywood for good.

Nevertheless, she is reportedly set to walk the carpet at the premiere with the film's director Conor Allyn and her co-star Eduardo Noriego.
