Director James Wan‘s wife has issued a brief statement, giving a medical update following a situation in which he had to be rushed to the hospital this week.
What’s James Wan’s medical status?
In a recent Instagram story from the director’s wife, Ingrid Bisu, she shared a photo of Wan sitting in a hospital bed and taking a selfie. Bisu noted that it had been “an extremely rough and scary couple of days and nights,” but that Wan is now safe “and on the mend.”
“It has been an extremely rough and scary couple of days and nights,” Bisu said. “You never want to rush to the ER in the middle of the night and then have to stay in the hospital. Cedars Sinai is truly the best!! The best doctors, nurses, technicians, just the most wonderful people. James is safe now and on the mend.”
Wan himself also commented on the news, with his original Instagram story featuring a simple “Thank you Cedar Sinai for taking good care of me” message for the staff at Cedar Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
It is unknown what medical issue caused Wan to be rushed to the hospital nor how long he was hospitalized for. The director has been hard at work with the upcoming DC Universe sequel, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, starring Jason Momoa. The movie has been subjected to multiple reshoots and release date shuffles ever since the initial principal photography wrapped in January 2022. A recent report suggested the Aquaman sequel could be pushed out of its December release amid the ongoing strike which has not been confirmed by Warner Bros.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is scheduled for release on Dec. 20.
