Regardless, when Johnny Depp’s legal team filed the motion to delay the case, Depp had asked the court to delay the hearing on the defamation case to between March and June of 2021.
A March court date could seemingly interfere with Aquaman 2, but Depp’s motion basically said anytime during that time window would work.
We’ll have to wait and see if the legal team or the presiding judge are able to work out a solution that won’t end up affecting either massive film production.
It’s also worth noting this lawsuit was originally scheduled for February of 2020, but both the defamation case and the libel lawsuit had to shuffle around dates during this fiscal year given global circumstances.
