Several movie and TV productions are going on hiatus due to ongoing concerns about the coronavirus outbreak, including The Batman, The Witcher season 2, and the Loki Disney Plus series.

Warner Bros. and Marvel both made the decision to shut down The Batman and Loki respectively for two weeks. Variety is reporting that it is unclear at this moment as to whether it affects the former’s 2021 release date, while Deadline also confirms that fellow Marvel Phase 4 TV shows, WandaVision and Falcon and The Winter Soldier, won’t continue production either for the time being.

The Batman has recently stepped up its teasers, including official shots of the Batmobile, plus an all-too-brief look at Robert Pattinson’s Batsuit.

Stranger Things season 4 (alongside dozens of other Netflix shows and movies), won’t be filming, nor will several live-action Disney projects, including MCU newcomer Shang-Chi.
