Robert Pattinson, the actor who gained fame from the Twilight series and is slated to be the next Batman, has reportedly tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, the filming of The Batman has been halted, and precautionary steps are being taken by Warner Bros. This unfortunate incident might delay the release of this highly anticipated film.

 

When asked about the incident, Warner Bros. didn’t reveal Robert Pattinson’s name. It just stated “A member of The Batman production has tested positive for Covid-19 and is isolating per established protocols. Filming is temporarily paused.” Various publications reported that Robert Pattinson was that unfortunate individual.

 

After some time, Ann Sarnoff, the boss of WarnerMedia Studios & Networks, confirmed that the production of The Batman is halted, and they don’t have much idea about the circumstances that led to it. She said “We’re still in the middle of investigating what is the situation. We’re pausing temporarily for now until we have more information, but we have all the protocols set up to do contact tracing and hopefully get back up into production very soon.” Warner Bros is also testing the cast and crew of The Batman to ensure that no other individual has this deadly virus.

 

No one is sure when the production of The Batman will begin again. It surely won’t happen for next few weeks if Robert Pattinson is in isolation and any other member of the cast and crew tests positive. In case the production is delayed too much, it might impact the October 2021 release date of the film.

It isn’t the first time that Robert Pattinson’s starrer has faced production halting. Last time the production of The Batman was halted along with most of the work in the entertainment industry in March when quarantine lockdown first happened.

 

The expectations from the film are high as The Batman’s trailer is already quite popular and people can’t wait to see the impressive Robert Pattinson in the cape in The Batman. The actor is the second popular star who’s hit by COVID-19 in the last 24 hours. Recently, Dwayne Johnson, his wife and two daughters have also tested positive for COVID-19. Here’s wishing them all a speedy recovery.
