Robert De Niro injured his leg while in Oklahoma to film new Martin Scorsese movie

• Robert De Niro injured his "quadricep muscle" while in his temporary Oklahoma home.
• De Niro had been there to film "Killers of the Flower Moon," an upcoming Apple original film.
• His rep told Insider it won't affect production since he has three weeks until he's due back on set.

Robert De Niro injured his leg while at his on-location home for Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon" movie, which is currently filming in Oklahoma.

A representative for De Niro told Insider the actor "injured his quadriceps muscle which will be treated medically in New York." They didn't disclose how he was injured.

TMZ first reported the injury, and now in an update to their story said that "Scorsese's film is moving ahead as scheduled," which De Niro's representative separately confirmed to Insider.

"This will not affect production as he was not scheduled to film again for another three weeks," the representative said.

"Killers of the Flower Moon" is an Apple TV Plus original movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone in addition to De Niro. It's based on a nonfiction book by David Grann which follows the investigation of serial murders in the Osage Nation native tribe in the 1920s.

Filming began on April 19, and the first official production still was released on Monday. The New York Post described DiCaprio as "unrecognizable" in a headline about the photo, which led to online mockery.

There is no current release date for the movie.
