Chris Pratt has allegedly refused to travel to Malta for the next phase of filming Jurassic World: Dominion due to concerns over coronavirus.

Filming of the sixth movie in the Jurassic Park franchise had already been paused for several months as the spread of the disease escalated but resumed at Pinewood Studios in London last month under strict health and safety guidelines.

Production is now due to relocate to Malta for external scenes but leading man Pratt is said to be worried about reports that some of the production staff who have gone ahead have caught coronavirus.

A source told the Daily Mail: "There have been some cases of COVID among the behind-the-camera staff following an outbreak in Malta.

"Chris thinks the sensible thing is to not get on the plane to go there."

The film is due to be released in June 2021.
