The actor Robert Pattinson has tested positive for Covid-19, according to US media reports, halting production of The Batman movie just days after it resumed following lockdown.
A spokesperson for Warner Bros, the Hollywood studio behind the movie, said: “A member of The Batman production has tested positive for Covid-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols.
The Batman franchise reboot, slated for a 2021 release, has an ensemble cast including Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano and Colin Farrell.
The studio declined to name the individual affected, but Vanity Fair and the Hollywood Reporter cited unnamed sources as saying the person who tested positive was Pattinson, the film’s star.
