That makes them luckier than some. The entertainment industry took notice this week after Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson tested positive for COVID-19 while Hanks was filming Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming Elvis biopic in Australia. According to CNN, the two Hollywood royals are currently receiving treatment in isolation, and their condition is not considered life-threatening. Given the tight working conditions on a movie or TV set, it’s likely we haven’t seen the last of these infections or cancellations.
Actor Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes (a.k.a. The Winter Soldier), took to Instagram to weigh in on the abrupt production halt. In a caption below a beautiful evening landscape of the city of Prague he wrote, “Prague. What a city. We’ve been shooting #TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier and experiencing one of the most beautiful cities in the world filled with the most wonderful and welcoming people. Now we are being sent home. Too soon. Prague, you’re gonna be in my thoughts for a long time. Thank you. Will be back. Thinking of you. #BuckytakesEurope.”
While his message didn’t include any encouraging information for fans hoping to peg a timeline to the resumption of filming, we can all appreciate Stan’s generous sentiments for the hard-hit city that’s played host to the Falcon and Winter Soldier production team for the past few days.
