Johnny Depp has been forced to return to America to have surgery after he was injured on location for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, according to Variety.
The actor, who is reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow for a fifth time, began filming the new Pirates film last month.
