She's also wrapped the second installment of Alice In Wonderland, with the 2016 movie reuniting her with Tim Burton, her former partner. 

The actress is yet to speak out about the breakdown of her 13-year partnership with Burton but it is known that she is continuing to work at co-parenting their two children Billy Ray, 11, and Nell, six with the director. 

They have collaborated on a number of film projects since meeting on the set of Planet of the Apes in 2001, which Burton directed.

Tim produced Alice In Wonderland: Through The Looking Glass last August with Helena reprising her role as the Red Queen in the follow-up, alongside Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter and Anne Hathaway as White Queen.
