A technician died on the set of the new Marvel superhero series in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Disney said, AFP reported.

The man, whose name has not been released, fell from the metal beams above the studio and died from his injuries.

He was one of the technicians responsible for building equipment such as scaffolding, lighting and electrical cables for film and television installations.

“We offer our deepest condolences to his family and friends, and we support the investigation into the circumstances surrounding this accident,” a spokesperson for Disney-owned Marvel said in a statement.

The accident comes as safety on film and television sets is under scrutiny following the tragic death of a cameraman on Alec Baldwin’s 2021 western Rust.

Working conditions in the industry were also at the center of strikes by actors and writers that paralyzed Hollywood for six months last year.

Unions representing film technicians are set to renegotiate their own contracts with studios later this year.

The accident happened on Tuesday on the set of the Marvel superhero series “Wonder Man” starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley.

Ben Kingsley will reprise his role as Trevor Slattery, which he first played in 2013’s Marvel’s Iron Man 3.
