Robert Pattinson Diagnosed with Covid-19, The Batman Production Halted
The Batman actor and star Robert Pattinson, who is set to play the billionaire playboy aka Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne/Batman, in the upcoming Matt Reeves-directed film, has been diagnosed with Covid-19. This has caused the film to halt its shooting schedule to allow for the actor's recovery. News of this case comes mere days after filming of The Batman had resumed following the global pandemic severely restricting and halting film productions worldwide.

According to Vanity Fair, Pattinson was the cast member confirmed to test positive with the coronavirus. This comes in light of previous reports that an unknown member of the film's production had tested positive for the virus, though representatives of the film's cast failed to comment any further. Now that Pattinson has been tested positive, he will undergo the period of isolation, usually for around two to three weeks, before he is hopefully healthy enough to return to the set. "A member of The Batman production has tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating in accordance with established protocols," said a Warner Bros. spokesperson. "Filming is temporarily paused."
When The Batman had originally begun production, it was reportedly seven weeks into shooting before filming had to be paused due to the global pandemic. This was enough footage to create a teaser trailer in time for DC FanDome, though, but production was expected to continue for another three months. With filming resuming under a week ago, it now needs to be halted again to allow Pattinson time to recover. Completion of the shoot was scheduled to happen by the end of the year, though it seems like it may carry over to next year to allow for extra time in production. It's still unclear if this will affect the film's release date, which has a launch of October 1st, 2020.
More updates will be provided in the coming weeks on Pattinson's health, we wish him a speedy recovery.
