The trial was originally scheduled to take place on January 11, 2021, but Circuit Court Chief Judge Bruce White postponed it to May 3, 2021, due to ongoing concerns surrounding COVID-19. Depp had initially requested a delay in August to begin filming Fantastic Beasts 3 in London, and filed court documents in Virginia requesting the trial be pushed back until March to June of 2021, once filming was completed. Amber opposed the request, but with Warner Bros. planning to start filming Fantastic Beasts 3 in October and running through February, the trial has been delayed accordingly.
