A crew member working on the new James Bond film has been hurt during the filming of an explosion.

The blast damaged the outside of the famous 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, where the spy franchise is produced.

According to the Sun, the film crew were testing a stunt involving a fireball in a laboratory when the explosion took off part of the complex’s roof and at least five wall panels.

The injured crew member was crushed by part of the set which fell on him, the newspaper said.

A tweet from the official James Bond account said: “During the filming of a controlled explosion on the set of Bond 25 today at Pinewood Studios, damage was caused to the exterior of the 007 Stage.

“There were no injuries on set, however one crew member outside the stage has sustained a minor injury.”
