Maaaaaaan. This was one I was actually looking forward to. The upcoming “The Batman” has halted production once already in March when the pandemic starts wreaking havoc, but it’s happening again after a member of the production tested positive for COVID-19. New York Times points to Robert Pattinson as testing positive.

A statement was put out to say

“a member of ‘The Batman’ production has tested positive for Covid-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols.”

The movie was set to be released on October 1, 2021. However, with a need to follow strict guidelines when it comes to health and safety of the crew, it seems that date might not be feasible anymore… I know that’s a year out, but think about it. They might have to stop and start multiple times.
