Filming for Indiana Jones is reportedly back in jeopardy after a norovirus outbreak spread across the site.
Up to 50 people had to be sent home from Pinewood Studios in Iver, Buckinghamshire, after the spread of the winter vomiting bug.
This could turn out to be another setback, occurring just days after lead star Harrison Ford, 79, returned after surgery on a shoulder injury he suffered while trying a trick, which it left him out of action for three months.
Oh no: Indiana Jones filming is said to be in jeopardy again after a norovirus outbreak spread across the site (filming took place at Leaderfoot in June)
Indiana Jones isn’t the only film in danger, as the outbreak has also affected the shooting of the upcoming Ant-Man movie at the Bucks site.
A source hinted to The Sun that characters like Harrison and other big names have not been affected.
The crew has fallen like flies. Covid also has a lot of discount, so it’s been a double whammy.

Norovirus outbreaks were reported to be three times higher than usual, as top experts warned that the bug could return in the summer due to declining Covid restrictions.
Health fears on the set come after it was revealed last week that Phoebe Waller-Bridge was being tipped to replace veteran actor Harrison as the female version of the archeology fiction professor in the movie franchise adventures.

The film industry is full of rumors that the Fleabag star will take over as Indiana’s main adventurer, making her the first female protagonist since the start of Disney movies in 1981 with Raiders. Of The Lost Ark.
Next year she will be Indiana Jones ’companion on Harrison’s latest outing as a nurturing adventurer.
Interns claim that Kathleen Kennedy, the Hollywood producer behind the franchise, is willing to make “big, bold” changes, with few bigger than changing the main character to a woman.
