The Flash CinemaCon trailer 2023 shows the consequences of trying to change the past
Warner Bros. Pictures unveiled a brand-new trailer for The Flash during CinemaCon 2023. Along with Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, and Sasha Calle as Supergirl, the trailer also shows the effects of trying change the past.
Keaton starts the trailer talking about how he lost his parents and that it made him what he is. He spent his entire life trying to “right all the wrongs in his past as if combating crime would bring back my parents.” He looks at Miller’s Barry Allen then says, “You actually did it.”
Here is an analysis of the costs associated with Allen’s “success.” The return of General Zod shows that he admits to thinking he “broke the Universe.” Affleck’s Bruce Wayne tells us, along with emotional scenes between different characters, that “these scars are what make us the people we are.” We were not meant to go back in time and fix them. Don’t let your tragedy define you.”
Keaton’s Batman delivers his most famous line, “You wanna get nuts?”, from 1989’s Batman. Let’s get nuts.
You can watch the trailer for The Flash below.

Dune Part Two is an ‘action-packed epic war movie,’ first footage revealed at CinemaCon in 2023
Denis Villeneuve (Dune Part Two) shared the first footage of the upcoming movie he calls an “action packed epic war film” at CinemaCon 2023.
The footage shows Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides and Zendaya’s Chani sitting together on dunes before cutting to Florence Pugh’s Princess Irulan. Austin Butler’s Feyd Rautha, described as an Olympic Sword Master who is a Psychotic crossed with Mick Jagger and is very angry, is also given a first glance. The video ends in a sandstorm with Paul facing the masses.
Dune Part Two is scheduled to be released on November 3, 2023. It will pick up where the first movie left off, as Paul and his mom join the Fremen tribe in an attempt to gain their trust.
Zendaya said there will be more Chani this time, as “she is not only in dreams.”
Villeneuve also said that the picture of Paul riding a Sandworm was purely for practical reasons.

The Nun II’s Teaser Video is Terrifying Before Its Premiere in September 2023
The Nun II, a sequel to the Conjuring series, will hit theaters on 8 September 2023. The video began with thunder and lighting as the demon nun appeared once again.
We cut to girls in a school convent, which looks like Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. They sneak into the chapel, knowing it is off-limits. There they find some dark passageways in ruin. Then they play a game called Defy the Devil in which players stare at the image on a stained-glass window of a goat to summon a demon.
The eldest girl tells her to keep looking at the youngster. Shortly after, the nun with glowing blue eyes appears behind them. She tried to run but was caught by the other girls who laughed and locked her in.
The footage transitions into the trailer, which appears to take place in the 1950s and very early 1960s.
