"It’s fair that [Heard] said that [about the character being pared down], because she wasn’t in my head as I was working on this movie. Actors don’t necessarily know what we [directors] behind the scenes are thinking about. But this was always my plan. From the start, I pitched that the first film would be a 'Romancing The Stone'-type thing - an action-adventure romantic comedy - while the second would be an outright buddy comedy. I wanted to do 'Tango & Cash!'"
-Amber/Meras role in the sequel has been speculated to be anywhere between 10mins-20 minutes
-Nicole Kidman originally had a more minor role in the film before seeing her screen time drastically increased when William DeFoe could not return.
"Willem is not in this one, no. Part of the reason was because his schedule did not work for us. But what that allowed me to do was expand on Atlanna's role. Atlanna in this one ultimately becomes Arthur's advisor. Because Arthur's not from this world, she helps him better understand the world and the politics of how things work."
