Europe is on high alert in the wake of the tragic attacks on Brussels Tuesday.

Warner Bros. is moving forward with the London premiere of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but has cancelled its red carpet press line, E! News confirms. 

"Our hearts go out to the victims of recent terrorist attacks, their families and the communities impacted around the world," the studio 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."

Per Variety, Warner Bros. is "still grappling with how to coordinate the European debut" of Batman v Superman in the wake of Tuesday's bombings. As of Tuesday afternoon, the studio had not announced plans to change the movie's rollout plan in any way.

The movie's New York premiere was Sunday and Batman v Superman stars Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot and Jesse Eisenberg were all in attendance.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens this Friday in the U.S. and the U.K.
