In two weeks time, Warner Bros. will lastly launch The Flash, its loooooooong in growth superhero film. A lot of the film’s advertising has been enjoying up the film as an epic team-up between Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen, Michael Keaton’s returning Batman, and newcomer Sasha Calle as Supergirl. You’d assume there wouldn’t be anything within the film that may actually be shock worthy, given we all know the basic endpoint of the film (and no less than one cameo), however WB is seemingly preserving mum on some issues.
Per Selection, WB’s reportedly acquired a “secret ending” it’s making an attempt to maintain a lid on as a lot as potential, to the purpose the place there’s solely one premiere set for a couple of days earlier than the film’s launch. When the film premiered at CinemaCon in April, it had a good quantity of its closing scene lacking and ended fairly abruptly. However extra just lately, WB’s been making an lively effort to cover no matter’s within the movie’s closing moments: forward of CinemaCon, the ultimate scene was modified a handful of occasions, and more moderen screenings in Burbank had key parts blurred out. A part of that is reportedly as a result of Miller: WB reportedly needs to “maintain its choices open” on the prospect that it must recast in gentle of their PR points (and subsequent ongoing restoration course of).
It’s an fascinating distinction in comparison with how WB’s dealt with its final two DC Comics films. The studio had no bother placing within the respective cameos held in Black Adam (Henry Cavill’s Superman) and Shazam: Fury of the Gods (Gal Gadot’s Marvel Girl) within the advertising for these films. Each of these cameos had been meant as incentives to get audiences to see these particular films, so the query for The Flash is, what’s completely different right here? Is it really a considerable recreation changer or only a bog-standard “we’re planting our flags for some future stuff that’ll possibly come to fruition relying on how the following few months go”? We’ll discover out when The Flash involves theaters on June 16.
