The studio declined to comment about any individual’s health.

Deadline reported “The Batman,” directed by Matt Reeves, previously halted production 5½ months ago during the coronavirus pandemic. Before filming shut down, Reeves said he had about one-quarter of the movie filmed. He reportedly has another three months of shooting to go.

“The Batman” remains slated for a theatrical release on Oct. 1, 2021.
