According to The Sun, Cupac was one of more than 100 crew members who were in Fes preparing for a chase scene involving a rickshaw.

Harrison Ford, who was previously injured while rehearsing a fight scene for the film back in June, was allegedly expected to arrive in Morocco alongside Phoebe Waller-Bridge who had been shooting scenes in Italy.

However, Morocco banned flights to and from the United Kingdom over concerns of rising Covid-19 cases creating another setback for the production, which was reportedly delayed three months due to Ford’s injury.
