Following an exemption of quarantine rules and an agreement of specific quarantine-like conditions, Matt Reeves’ adaptation of the DC Comics hero and the final installment in the Jurassic World trilogy will get back to shooting in England alongside Mission: Impossible 7Fantastic Beasts 3, Sony’s live-action Cinderella and Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.

Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden revealed at a press conference over the weekend that he personally spoke with M:I star and producer Tom Cruise about the exemption, resulting in the decision to allow production to resume on the various blockbuster projects. However, the exemption will see the crew members involved with the various productions to be restricted to a “bubble” environment, having to live in close proximity to the production area and not being allowed to leave to surrounding communities.

The world’s biggest blockbusters and high-end TV shows are made in Britain,” Dowden said. “Our creativity, expertise and highly successful tax reliefs for our screen industries means that we are an in-demand location that in turn delivers a great return for our economy. We want the industry to bounce back and exempting small numbers of essential cast and crew from quarantine is part of our continued commitment to getting cameras rolling safely again.
