Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice cancels London premiere after Brussels terrorist attack.
Warner Bros. has decided to pull the plug on press interviews on the red carpet of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice premiere in London this Tuesday following the terrorist attacks in Brussels that left dozens dead.
However, the premiere will continue.
“Our hearts go out to the victims of recent terrorist attacks, their families and the communities impacted around the world,” Warner Bros. said in a statement. “Rather than yield to terror, we've decided to join the film's fans and move forward with the London premiere of Batman v. Superman this evening.”

The bombings come days after the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, the main surviving suspect in last November's Paris attacks. According to reports, ISIS is claiming responsibility for the terrorist attack.
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” starring Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill in the roles of Batman and Superman, will be released in U.S. theaters on March 25.
