Robert Pattinson-led 'The Batman' also had to pause production
Talking about how detailed the new normal on the set has become, actor Bryce Dallas Howard said she and the other actors "are the guinea pigs who are going to take the leap," as they understand the moviemaking nitty-gritty above and beyond acting. Apart from Jurassic World: Dominion, Warner Bros.' The Batman, which has Robert Pattinson in lead, also had to pause production.
