Johnny Depp has been branded a cannibal by the tribesman of the Dominica Island, where the star is currently filming the third Pirates of the Caribbean film.
The tribesman are unhappy with a scene in the second film where Depp's character, Jack Sparrow, is being roasted alive.
The tribe feel depicts the natives of the island unfairly.
"The film's depiction of our natives as flesh-craving savages is grossly untrue and very politically incorrect," Chief Charles Williams said.
"Of course, there was violence and bloodshed in the past. But to stigmatize us today is very wrong. We will continue our fight when Hollywood returns."
"People were like, 'You can't do that in the movie.' But it's played for laughs and gets them," Depp said. "The last thing we want to do is offend anyone. But it's fantasy and I think people realise that."
