Major production companies in the U.S. are halting the release of their films as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues. Yesterday, Disney led the film sanction as they announced they would not be releasing Pixar’s Turning Red in the invading country. Since then, Warner Bros. and Sony have announced they halted the release of their upcoming films in Russia, including The Batman starring Robert Pattinson and Morbius starring Jared Leto.
“In light of the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, WarnerMedia is pausing the release of its feature film The Batman in Russia,” a WarnerMedia spokesperson said in a statement. “We will continue to monitor the situation as it evolves. We hope for a swift and peaceful resolution to this tragedy.”
