What You Need To Know

  • Robert Pattinson reportedly contracted COVID-19, according to Vanity Fair

  • Production on the latest "Batman" movie has been halted

  • The movie is set to debut in 2021

Warner Bros. would not comment on any individual’s health on the project, but did confirm in a statement to multiple outlets that filming on the project had been halted. 

“A member of The Batman production has tested positive for Covid-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols. Filming is temporarily paused,” the statement read. 

Warner Bros. did not immediately respond to Spectrum News’ request for comment.

“The Batman” had only just resumed filming in the United Kingdom after a months-long pause due to the coronavirus pandemic. The movie reportedly still has at least three months of filming left to complete, with a goal to wrap before the end of the year. 

Just two weeks ago, director Matt Reeves released a preview trailer for the movie during a DC Comics fan event. The star-studded cast includes Paul Dano as The Riddler, Zoë Kravitz’s as Selina Kyle, Colin Farrell as The Penguin, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, and Andy Serkis as Batman’s loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth. 

If the reports are true, Pattinson would be the latest high-profile celebrity to test positive for the disease. On Wednesday, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson announced that he and his family contracted COVID-19 from a family friend. 

Johnson announced their diagnosis in an 11-plus minute video on Instagram on Wednesday. He said he was shocked after hearing their positive tests, calling the ordeal “one of the most challenging and difficult things we’ve ever had to endure.”

The actor said he along with his wife, Lauren Hashian, and two young daughters contracted the virus, but have now recovered. He said his daughters “bounced back” after having sore throats for a couple days.

But for Johnson and his wife, he said they both had a “rough go.”

Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson were among the first celebrities to publicly reveal their diagnoses in early March while filming on location in Australia.
