Eva Green has reportedly been rushed to hospital after suffering an on-set accident while filming the upcoming third season of Netflix's Wednesday near Dublin.

The Casino Royale star, who recently joined the hit series as Ophelia Frump, is said to have injured her leg while filming near Dublin earlier this month.

According to The Sun, production was temporarily halted as she received medical treatment, with filming only resuming after schedules were rearranged.

A production source claimed the incident was serious enough to warrant an immediate response.

"This was really nasty. Eva sustained an injury and was clearly in pain and producers were taking no chances," the source told The Sun.

"Medics were called and Eva went to hospital. She underwent treatment and is now recovering well."

While details surrounding the injury remain limited, Entertainment Weekly has since confirmed that Green did sustain an injury during filming and is "recovering well."

The publication reported that Netflix confirmed there had been "a sustained injury" but declined to comment further, while representatives for the actress did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The incident comes shortly after Green's casting in the supernatural series was officially announced following months of fan speculation.

She will play Ophelia Frump, the sister of Morticia Addams, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the aunt of Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams.

The role had been the subject of intense speculation after Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance in the show's second season, with many fans believing the singer would portray Ophelia.

Instead, Gaga appeared as Rosalyn Rottwood, clearing the way for Green to join the Addams family.

Speaking when her casting was announced, Green expressed her excitement about joining the series.

"I'm thrilled to join the woefully twisted world of Wednesday as Aunt Ophelia. This show is such a deliciously dark and witty world, I can't wait to bring my own touch of cuckoo-ness to the Addams family."

Series creators Al Gough and Miles Millar also praised the actress, saying: "Eva Green has always brought an exhilarating, singular presence to the screen – elegant, haunting, and beautifully unpredictable. Those qualities make her the perfect choice for Aunt Ophelia. We're excited to see how she transforms the role and expands Wednesday's world."

The new season also reunites Green with acclaimed director Tim Burton, having previously worked together on Dark Shadows, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Dumbo.

Best known internationally for playing Vesper Lynd opposite Daniel Craig's James Bond in Casino Royale, Green has also earned acclaim for starring as Vanessa Ives in the gothic horror series Penny Dreadful.

The third season of Netflix's Wednesday will also introduce several new faces, including Lena Headey, Andrew McCarthy, Winona Ryder, Chris Sarandon, Noah Taylor, James Lance, Oscar Morgan and Kennedy Moyer, alongside returning stars Jenna Ortega and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
