Johnny Depp's libel claim against The Sun and Dan Wootton is due to be heard in court in July.
The messages were sent in late February and early March 2015, shortly before an alleged incident in Australia between Depp and Heard, which Heard claims was"a three-day ordeal of physical assaults".However, Mr Depp's barrister, David Sherborne, said the messages were not relevant as they did not relate to the allegations of domestic violence.
Mr Depp has brought separate libel proceedings against Ms Heard in the US, which the court has previously heard are"ongoing".
