Amber Heard planning Hollywood comeback with two films lined up after losing Depp case

Amber Heard will be starring in two movies following her libel case against her ex-husband Johnny Depp.

Johnny, 58, was awarded compensatory damages of $10million (£8 million) and a further $5 million (£4 million) in punitive damages by a jury on Wednesday (June 1).

The jury ruled that Amber's op-ed article, titled 'I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change', for the Washington Post about domestic violence had been defamatory.

Amber, 36, was also awarded $2 million (£1.5 million) in damages after it was found that one of the Pirates of the Caribbean actor's lawyers had defamed her, claiming she ‘spilt a little wine and roughed the place up, got their stories straight’ before calling the police.

Despite the results of the explosive trial, the actress will be appearing in two movies in the near future.

Amber had wrapped up filming for In The Fire before the trial began in Virginia. The movie is set in the 1800s and she stars as a North American psychiatrist who goes to a plantation to take care of a boy with 'special abilities'.

Taking care of the boy sparks trouble in the religious town as the local priest believes he is possessed by the Devil.

The movie was written and directed by Conor Allyn, who worked on the screenplay with Pascal Borno and Silvio Muraglia.

According to IMDB, she is also set to star in Run Away With Me, a movie that was written by Matthew Cirulnick.

It follows an American in Paris who falls for a model and the duo becomes intertwined in the criminal underworld of the European modelling industry.

Following the results of the trial, an expert claimed that Amber would struggle to find work in Hollywood again.

This Morning 's Sam Rubin appeared on the programme on Thursday to weigh in on what the verdict could mean for the acrimonious exes.

Speaking remotely from Los Angeles, Sam said: “Will Johnny Depp resume his film acting career? Before I thought it was not at all probable. Now, I would describe it as remotely possible.”

He then hinted what could be next for the Aquaman actress, saying: “As for Amber Heard, I think it's going to be very, very difficult to pick up from here.

“Does she resume her life as an actress? It seems unlikely. Could she become an advocate or spokesperson of some sort?

“I think a parallel to Monica Lewinsky here in the States, I think that's possible.”
