Johnny Depp is back in town and set to resume filming on Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
The actor, who plays Captain Jack Sparrow in the popular film franchise, landed in Brisbane on Tuesday morning with new wife Amber Heard, and a red bandanna wrapped around his right hand.
The couple are set to travel to the Gold Coast, where the movie is being made at the Village Roadshow studios and on a sprawling set at Helensvale.
Depp flew back to the US on March 11 after injuring his hand. He was only expected to be missing for a couple of weeks but was held up, according to the film's publicist Michael Singer.
"His return depended on his recuperation from surgery and when his physician allowed him to travel. It was entirely dependant on that," Singer told AAP.
It's believed he had been driving a go-kart on a private track at Mick Doohan's luxury Coomera residence at the time of the incident.
Before that he had seemed to be enjoying his time in South East Queensland, even appearing onstage with Marilyn Manson at The Tivoli in Brisbane.
Producers of the $250 million epic made arrangements to film scenes Depp was not required for in his absence, but there were rumours much of that had been finished.
