Nic Cupac had so far enjoyed a remarkable career.

Since his debut behind the cameras in 2000, he had won the trust of the biggest studios.

After working on a few television series, he had stood out on films like The

Da Vinci Code

or

Benjamin Gates and the Book of Secrets

.

His work had allowed him to participate in various blockbusters, such as the last two parts of the

Harry Potter

saga

,

Guardians Of The Galaxy

,

Fantastic Beasts

or

Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Disaster shooting

This death darkens even more the picture of a nightmarish shooting for the production of the film.

Like all Hollywood productions in recent months, the shooting was first impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and the closure of cinemas.

In May, Harrison Ford seriously injured his shoulder from the first days of filming, stopping it for three months.

Back on the set a few weeks ago in Cefalù in Sicily, the actor had also lost his bank card, miraculously found by a German tourist.

The relocation of filming to Morocco was also disrupted by new restrictions on flights between England and Morocco.
