Entertainment news is led by disruption and remembrance: a major superhero sequel slows as its director steps away, while the industry also marks the deaths of two performers known from sketch comedy and daytime television. The day’s biggest developments center on how personal circumstances are reshaping productions and careers already familiar to audiences.

Warner Bros. and DC Studios pause production on “The Batman Part II” after director Matt Reeves steps away to deal with a family matter. The studio says the move is temporary and that Reeves is focusing on personal reasons, delaying momentum on one of its highest-profile comic-book films.

Robert Kelker-Kelly, best known for playing Bo Brady on “Days of Our Lives,” dies at 62. The actor dies on October 3 in St. Peters, Missouri, closing the career of a familiar soap presence whose work on NBC’s long-running drama made him widely recognizable to daytime television audiences.

Comedian and actor Reggie McFadden dies at 57 in Tanzania, where he had been living for years. McFadden is known for appearances on “In Living Color” and “Def Comedy Jam,” credits that linked him to two influential showcases for Black comedy and helped define his public profile.
