In a statement provided to ABC News, Warner Bros. said, “Our thoughts are with those affected by the recent tragedy in the UK.  In light of the current situation, we will not be proceeding with our plans for the Wonder Woman premiere and junket activities in London.”

Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot as the super-powered Amazonian princess, opens June 1 in the U.K. and June 2 in the U.S.  The film’s U.S. premiere takes place Thursday in L.A.

The bombing took place after a concert by pop star Ariana Grande, who has now suspended her tour through at least early June.
