‘The Batman’ star Robert Pattinson reportedly tests positive for COVID-19

Reports began to circulate this week that a member of The Batman production had the coronavirus, and as a result filming was shut down — but no one knew that it was the movie’s star, Robert Pattinson, that had been infected.

Vanity Fair broke the news Thursday afternoon that it was the lead actor who’d tested positive for COVID-19, clamping down the movie set mere days into production.

Located outside of London, England, the studios had just reopened following the six-month coronavirus pandemic lockdown. There had been no shooting since March.
