The film was already pushed back due to delays caused by COVID-19.

Filming stopped last June after Ford hurt his shoulder rehearsing a fight scene.

He was not cleared to start filming against until this past October.

Now, a grip in the film’s camera department was found dead.

The team was filming a major stunt scene using a rickshaw in Morocco.

A representative for the film says that the death was “not production related.”

[{"selector":"#anim-d7aeaf6d-1226-4e3c-99f5-93467eef89be","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

It is unclear if this will push back the delay of the film back any further.

Originally scheduled to be released in July 2021, it was pushed back to July 2022, and now June 2023.
