Robert Pattinson Reportedly Positive For COVID-19 As 'The Batman' Filming Pauses [UPDATE]

Robert Pattinson has tested positive for COVID-19, according to multiple outlets, halting production on the upcoming superhero thriller “The Batman.”

Filming on the Matt Reeves-directed blockbuster resumed only three days ago following a nearly six-month hiatus after the global pandemic shuttered production in March.

“A member of ‘The Batman’ production has tested positive for COVID-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols. Filming is temporarily paused,” a Warner Bros. Pictures spokesperson toldVanity Fair was first to break the the news, citing various “highly placed” sources who revealed Pattinson is actually the unnamed crew member in question.

The coronavirus pandemic has proved more threatening than any member of the Dark Knight’s rouges’ gallery, as cast and crew on “The Batman” were only seven weeks deep into filming in the U.K. at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden before production first shut down earlier this year. The film is still set to be released in theaters Oct. 1, 2021, after the studio shelved its initial release date of June 25, 2021.
