Johnny Depp got hurt on the location for "Pirates of the Caribbean
According to Variety magazine, the 51-year-old actor, who'll now be flown back to the US for surgery, was not working at the time of his injury, but how he hurt himself has not been disclosed yet.
The production is not expected to be impacted by the star's absence largely, and will continue shooting scenes around Depp's character, Captain Jack Sparrow, for the next few weeks.
The 5th film in the franchise, which also stars Javier Bardem and Brenton Thwaites, with "Kon Tiki" directors Espen Sandberg and Joachim Ronning at the helm, had begun shooting last month, and has been scheduled to release July, 2017.
