Actor Robert Pattinson had tested positive for coronavirus. The actor had just returned to shoot after the lockdown.
Movie studio Warner Bros. said in a statement that ‘a member of The Batman production’ in Britain had tested positive for the coronavirus, but did not give a name. ‘Filming is temporarily paused,’ the studio’s statement added, but did not say for how long.
While there is no official confirmation from the star, Variety, the Hollywood Reporter and Vanity Fair all cited sources as saying the person who tested positive was Pattinson.
There is no news regarding Pattinson’s COVID19 symptoms as well.
Filming of The Batman had resumed north of London only three days ago after being shut down in mid-March, along with dozens of other movies and TV shows around the world due to the coronavirus.
Pattinson has more than three months of shoot left for the film. Earlier, The Batman’s release was postponed to October 2021.
