Crew member dies on set of Marvel's Wonder Man series

A crew member tragically dies after falling from high rafters on the set of Marvel’s Wonder Man series. An investigation has been initiated to determine the cause of the accident.

An investigation is under way into what led to the man’s fall from high rafters on Tuesday.

A crew member working on the upcoming Marvel TV series Wonder Man tragically lost his life on set after falling from elevated rafters.

The incident occurred at the Radford Studio Centre in Los Angeles, with no filming taking place at the time. The individual, identified as a rigger responsible for setting up scaffolding on film and TV sets, succumbed to his injuries later.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Marvel expressed condolences to the victim’s family and friends, affirming support for the ongoing investigation.

The identity of the deceased individual has not yet been disclosed.

Filming of Wonder Man, featuring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley, was slated to resume in March following delays due to recent Hollywood strikes.

The Disney+ series revolves around Simon Williams, who enters the realm of superheroes after acquiring supernatural abilities.

While fatalities and serious injuries on film and TV sets are relatively uncommon, there have been several notable incidents in recent years:

In 2021, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was tragically shot dead and director Joel Souza injured due to a firearm mishap on the set of the film Rust. Actor Alec Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
Last year, during the production of the Gladiator sequel in Morocco, several crew members were injured during a stunt sequence gone awry.
In 2018, a production assistant lost his life on the set of the TV series Power after being struck by a vehicle. His death was ruled accidental.
