Meanwhile filming for Deadpool 2 stopped temporarily in August after stuntwoman Joi ‘SJ’ Harris was killed in a tragic accident on set.
Joi, a professional motorbike racer from New York, was killed shortly after 8am while filming in Vancouver,, when she crashed into the lobby of Shaw Tower.
In the 911 call recording dispatchers can be heard discussing the accident, saying Harris hit a curb before being thrown through the air and ‘hasn’t been moving’ since.
The call audio emerged as one witness told Deadline that Harris had not been wearing a helmet during the crash because the character she was portraying, Domino, was not supposed to be wearing one.
