Concerns over the Coronavirus outbreak is increasing by the day, and of course, the entertainment industry can't be spared as well. There's already a few movies that got delayed, as well as big events. Now, Disney will be halting the production for its upcoming Marvel series.

In a recent report from Deadline, Disney will be halting a week-long shoot in Prague for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The government of Prague has already closed down schools and made restrictions on events and travel. Abiding by those rules, production will be shut down for the moment.

The show has been shooting for months in Atlanta, Georgia. They started shooting at Prague last Friday and it was supposed to take just a week. It isn't clear if they'll return to Prague to shoot once again, but the outlet says it is unlikely.

Sebastian Stan, who plays the role of Bucky Barnes in the show, has taken to Instagram to confirm the production delay. He mentioned that the cast and crew were sent home "too soon" but Prague will be in his thoughts "for a long time." "Will be back," the actor wrote.

This isn't the first time that the show's shoot was interrupted. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier had plans to shoot in Puerto Rico back in January, but was shut down as well after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake.

While it is an unfortunate setback, the safety and health of everyone is still the number one priority.

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier arrives on Disney+ in August.
