'The Batman' Shuts Down Production Two Weeks After Coronavirus Scare

With every day and every minute passing by, we keep getting instances and news about how one movie after the other, or one show after the other is shutting down production or release in order to be safe and take the precautionary measures from the Coronavirus scare.

The latest to join the wagon is the upcoming Robert Pattinson starrer, The Batman. 

Following the news that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson attracted the coronavirus during the “Elvis Presley” shoot in Australia, Warner Bros. has made a decision to halt production on “The Batman” for two weeks

The film’s crew was shooting on a sound stage in London since January and was planning to change locations to Liverpool. Warner Bros. thought it was best to go on hiatus during the location change.

It is unknown when the shoot was going to end and if it will impact the June 2021 release date at this time.

As for the two other WB films in production, “Matrix 4” and “King Richard” starring Will Smith, both have not been put on hiatus as of yet.

The Batman stars Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as the Riddler, Colin Farrell as the Penguin, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth. It is set to open on June 25, 2021.
