Filming on the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean adventure, Dead Men Tell No Tales, has been further delayed as star Johnny Depp recovers from a hand injury he sustained on set in Australia.

Depp underwent surgery earlier this month in the US to have a pin inserted in his finger.

At the time, filming was expected to be delayed for two weeks.

However, the Hollywood Reporter says that filming is now not expected to resume until the middle of April. 

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is due for release in July 2017.
