A crew member working on DC Studios’ Superman film died by suicide yesterday at Trilith Studios, Variety reports today.
It had been reported yesterday that a teamster had taken her own life at the production studio near Atlanta, with Variety confirming today that she had been working on Superman. The James Gunn-directed movie is currently filming at Trilith next to another DC Studios production, Peacemaker Season 2.
According to Deadline, police responded to a report of an unconscious contractor early Wednesday morning. The contractor was found dead in a vehicle in the production’s parking lot, and no foul play is suspected.
Per a X/Twitter post from Variety reporter Tatiana Siegel, Gunn “gathered the crew and halted production.” Siegel adds that it’s Superman’s last week of production.
