A person working on the movie The Batman has tested positive for COVID-19 and the U.K. shoot has been temporarily suspended. It was one of the first major productions to resume in the U.K. with enhanced safety and distancing measures in place. The New York Times reported in August that a few crew members on Universal's Jurassic World had tested positive, had quarantined and no one became seriously ill. Andrew Jack, a famed dialect coach and actor who had been working on the movie before lockdown, contracted coronavirus and died. The Batman was originally supposed to hit theaters in June 2021 but was pushed back to October because of the delays.
