The report further adds that ‘it would be a disaster' if the premier was all about Ben Affleck's mushy PDAs with Ana overshadowing the event, as the makers reportedly want the cast of the film to be at the primary focus. As per the reports, the film’s premiere has been ‘a long time coming’ and the ‘franchise bosses’ want the spotlight to be only the film’s stars.
