Robert Pattinson has reportedly tested positive for coronavirus just days after his latest movie The Batman restarted production, following months off due to the pandemic. Filming on the movie has now been halted once again while self-isolation begins.

Although Warner Bros has not confirmed which member of the cast has tested positive, the film studio did release a statement regarding the update.

"A member of The Batman production has tested positive for Covid-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols. Filming is temporarily paused," the statement read.

A "well placed" source has since confirmed to Vanity Fair that the cast member in question is Pattinson, although neither the actor nor his representatives have responded to this comment.

Pattinson is taking on the role in the highly anticipated DC Comics movie, in which he will star alongside Zoë Kravitz, Colin Farrell and Paul Dano. The film is currently slated to hit cinemas in October 2021, but this could be pushed back once again due to the various interruptions in filming.
