The man, whose name has not been released, fell from the metal beams overlooking the set. He was one of the technicians responsible for building equipment on film and television sets.

The accident comes at a time when safety on film sets is under intense scrutiny. Unions representing technicians on sets are due to renegotiate their own contracts with studios later this year. The incident happened on the set of Wonder Man, a Marvel superhero series starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley.
