Reportedly, De Niro flew back home to New York City on Thursday evening (May 13). The injury was first reported by TMZ, and according to the latest report, the makers will continue the film's shooting on schedule without De Niro at the moment.

The report quoted the actor's representative as saying, "This will not affect production as he was not scheduled to film again for another three weeks." It has been speculated that the flight may have been pre-planned before De Niro suffered an injury.
