‘I mean she was great during the shooting,’ Lundgren said, adding the sequel is, ‘looking great from what I hear.’

Lundgren also said he was unaware of her ‘status’ on the film, after rumors spread that she was being cut from the film following her defamation lawsuit loss.

A spokesperson for Heard shot down the rumors in a statement to Variety, insisting she is still in the film.

‘The rumor mill continues as it has from day one — inaccurate, insensitive and slightly insane,’ the statement from Heard’s rep read.

Heard’s ex-husband Johnny Depp sued her for defamation over a 2018 Washington Post column she wrote, where she claimed he was physically abusive to her.

The jury ordered Heard pay Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, though the punitive damages were later lowered to $350,000.

Heard will next be seen in the thriller In the Fire alongside Eduardo Noriega, which is in post-production and doesn’t have a release date slated.

Depp has started production on his new film Jeanne du Barry, where he plays King Louis XV.

There had been reports that he will return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise with a whopping $300 million deal, though the actor’s rep denied those claims.
