Harrison Ford has been injured on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII. The actor, who is of course reprising his iconic role of Han Solo in the sequel, reportedly sustained a “bad ankle injury” while filming on Wednesday.
According to Variety, Ford was hospitalized in London due to the injury. Disney/Lucasfilm said in a statement that Ford “was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care.”
The actor was at Pinewood studios "when a hydraulic door reportedly fell down and hit him, possibly fracturing his ankle," says the trade. Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter's sources say that he was injured by the door of the Millennium Falcon. Oh, the irony!
Shooting on the J.J. Abrams-directed film is expected to continue as planned while Ford receives treatment.
