Olga was also set to star in the Korean-French film Matin Calme (Calm Morning) with Dr. Romantic star Yoo Yeon Seok.

Yoo Yeon Seok's agency King Kong by Starship clarified that the actor has not been in close contact with Olga as filming has not yet begun.

"After hearing that Olga Kurylenko tested positive for COVID-19, we reached out to the French production company for confirmation, but we weren't able to get in touch with them. Filming hasn't started yet, so [Yoo Yeon Seok] hasn't filmed with her yet. We haven't heard about the shooting schedule since then," their statement read, as translated by Korean entertainment site Soompi.

Matin Calme was scheduled to start filming in April but it remains unclear if it will push through given the COVID-19 pandemic and the health status of one of its lead stars.

Olga previously starred opposite Daniel Craig in the 2008 James Bond movie Quantum of Solace. Her other Hollywood films include Oblivion with Tom Cruise and The Water Diviner with Russell Crowe.
