Jason Momoa and James Wan blocked plans to cut Amber Heard from Aquaman 2
The Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation trial continues to slither across the seabed of the online subconscious this week
occasionally spitting out some interesting industry factoid or strange moment that inevitably rises to the surface to be fitfully dissected and analyzed.
As part of that bolus-hunt, Kathryn Arnold (whose job appears primarily to be to testify in court cases about the entertainment industry) appeared today as a "entertainment industry consultant".
