Kate Winslet returns to work after injuring her leg while shooting new movie in Croatia

Actress Kate Winslet has returned to work after being injured on a film set in Croatia.

The 46-year-old was pictured getting back into character today after she was reportedly rushed to the hospital over the weekend.

She appeared in good spirits as she donned a khaki cargo jumpsuit on the set of her new movie Lee – which is being shot in the village of Kupari.

New pictures show her surrounded by crew as she wore a US military outfit – sporting a make-up free look.

Only yesterday, a news outlet in Croatia published pictures of the actress – best known for her role alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic – arriving at the hospital.

In the snaps, she was surrounded by many other people as she made her way in.

She walked into Dubrovnik Hospital wearing black clothes and a face mask – she is said to have arrived at the hospital, which is around 15 minutes from the set, in a black van.

Her new film follows World War II correspondent Lee Miller's life, portrayed by Kate, and also stars Jude Law and Marion Cotillard.

The injury ordeal comes after Kate previously discussed how she learned an incredible underwater 'superpower' for her role in the new Avatar: The Way Of Water.

The star, who is no stranger to being in bodies of water for a long period of time in movies, learned how to hold her breath for a shocking number of minutes.

Speaking to Empire about her role as Ronal, a free diver of the Metkayina, the 46-year-old said she learned how to hold her breath in a 900,000-gallon water tank for longer than any other cast member.

"Seven minutes and 14 seconds, baby!" she told the publication.

"The most amazing thing for me as a middle-aged woman was to learn something not just new, but superhuman!"

She previously revealed she thought she died while filming underwater for seven whole minutes.

The actress said it was "wonderful" to be underwater for such a long period of time, she knew how dangerous it could be.

Kate also learned how to free-dive for her role in the film, the much-anticipated sequel to 2009's Avatar.

She told Observer Magazine earlier this year: "God, it's just wonderful. Your mind completely drifts off.

"You can't think about anything, you can't make lists in your head, you're just looking at the bubbles underneath you… My first words [when I resurfaced] were, ''Am I dead?' Yes, I thought I'd died."
