And it is that since the first stages of confinement several months ago, many productions had to stop their activity by health recommendation, among them, The Batman, the new Matt Reeves film with Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / Batman. Now, after his return to filming a few days ago, production is again paralyzed by the positive in Covid-19 of one of its members: Robert Pattinson himself.
Vanity Fair confirms Pattinson’s positive for Covid-19
The news has been produced through a brief statement from the producer and in which the following could be read: “A member of The Batman production has tested positive for Covid-19 and is in isolation according to established protocols. Filming is temporarily paused ”. In the same statement, it has been avoided to give the name of the infected person, although shortly after the Vanity Fair medium has confirmed that the affected person is Robert Pattinson himself.
