CinemaCon Day 2 was a LOT!

Warner Bros. Pictures ruled the stage at CinemaCon 2023 on Tuesday and revealed new information and showed the crowd footage from many of its upcoming films, including The Flash, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Wonka, Barbie, Dune Part Two, and many more.

A new trailer for The Flash showed both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as Batman, and Sasha Calle as Supergirl. The film will deal with Barry Allen facing the consequences of trying to change the past.

After zipping back in time, Allen thinks he ‘broke the universe’,” which is probably true given one result is the return of General Zod. Affleck’s Bruce Wayne tells him, “These scars we have, they make us who we are. We weren’t meant to go back and fix them. Don’t let your tragedy define you.”

The other Batman, played by Keaton, does a callback to his line from 1989’s Batman, saying “You want to get nuts?! Let’s get nuts.”

The Flash will race into theaters on June 16th, 2023.

Warner also exhibited footage from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Tuesday.

The scene shows Jason Momoa’s Aquaman/Arthur Curry with a new baby boy, then cuts to Randall Park as Dr. Stephen Shin on an Arctic expedition, then another cut shows off the Black Trident – a weapon whose power is said to come from a great evil.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s Black Manta then declares he is “going to kill Aquaman and destroy everything he holds dear.”

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be released in theaters on December 20th, 2023.

The Blue Beetle footage shown at CinemaCon 2023 offered another look at the villainous Carapax.

The director and stars of Blue Beetle were on stage, sharing that family will be important in Xolo Maridueña’s journey to becoming the Blue Beetle. The family members themselves will also go on heroic arcs and they are “sometimes very funny and sometimes very surprising,” according to director Angel Manuel Soto.

Blue Beetle will be released in theaters on August 18th, 2023.

Although Timothée Chalamet was at the event, the real fun for those in attendance was a look at Hugh Grant as an orange-hued CGI Oompa Loompa in some footage for Wonka, where Grant’s character says he is a “perfectly respectable size.”

The footage looks at Wonka attempting to make chocolate, but being opposed by something called the Chocolate Cartel. It’s also confirmed that the movie will be a musical though the trailer had no songs in it. This Willy Wonka is said to be full of hope, unlike the character played by Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp.

Wonka will be released in theaters on December 15th, 2023.

The cast and director of Barbie were there as well, with some new footage for the upcoming film. Ryan Gosling told the crowd that he had trouble understanding the character of Ken until “one day I was bleaching my hair and shaving my legs and it all came on like a fever.”

Footage from the movie begins in Barbie’s world, but the iconic fashion doll then finds herself in the real world having to adjust to that.

Barbie will be released in theaters on July 21st, 2023.

Dune Part Two director Denis Villeneuve stopped by CinemaCon 2023 showed footage of 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 Harkonnen, who is described as a psychotic Olympic sword master crossed with Mick Jagger, also shows up. The footage ends with Paul in a sandstorm and then standing before the masses.

Dune Part Two will be released in theaters on November 3rd, 2023, and will pick up right where the first film ended with Paul and his mother joining the Fremen tribe and attempting to earn their trust.

In other news, after years and years of rumors and reports, Warner Bros. officially confirmed that Beetlejuice 2 is in development. They didn’t reveal anything about the film, but fans saw a logo that was flashed during a sizzle reel at the event.

Also, Oprah Winfrey was there to talk about The Color Purple, the upcoming movie musical adapted from the Broadway musical of the same name, which was based on Alice Walker’s 1982.

Winfrey starred in the 1985 film adaptation of The Color Purple, which was directed by Steven Spielberg, and she will produce the film. Winfrey called the film is a “celebration of sisterhood” and that it’s “not your mama’s color purple.” It is also said to “bring magical realism” to the musical.

The Color Purple will be released in theaters on December 25th, 2023.

And finally, the Conjuring universe is about to get a bit bigger and even more terrifying with new footage from The Nun II showing young girls in a convent school that looks like early 20th century Europe. They sneak into a closed chapel they know is off limits and discover some dark passageways that are in ruins. They then start playing a game called Defy the Devil, which has players staring at the image of a goat in a stained-glass window to get a demon to appear. And it does!

The Nun II will be released in theaters on September 8th, 2023.
