Fox settles with family of stuntwoman killed on Deadpool 2 set

20th Century Fox has reportedly settled out of court with the family of Joi Harris, the stuntwoman who was killed in a motorcycle accident while filming Deadpool 2.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the settlement for an undisclosed fee won't be made available to the family until the case moves through probate in New York, where Harris lived.
Harris was killed in August 2017 while performing a motorcycle stunt on the film's set in Vancouver. Eyewitnesses say the stuntwoman lost control of her vehicle while driving it down a set of stairs and then crashed into a plate-glass window.
Harris was acting as the stunt double for the character Domino, who was portrayed in the film by Zazie Beetz.
Following Harris' tragic death, Josh Brolin, who played Cable in the film, described it as a "freak accident".
"We had somebody pass away on Deadpool 2 and it was an absolute freak accident. The woman was such a wonderful woman… it wasn't even a stunt, it was a freak accident," he told Associated Press.

"It was a terrible thing that happened. Was it a nano-decision that she made in order to save the bike and this, you know what I mean? You could look into it all [these ways], but sometimes things just happen that are tragic."
When filming restarted on Deadpool 2, Ryan Reynolds led the cast and crew in a tribute to Joi, honouring her with a minute's silence.
