The CinemaCon 2023 event started on 24 April and will continue through 27 April. It is being held in Las Vegas, Nevada, the US.
The event is unlike other major festivals around cinema, as its primary focus is on owners, staff and others connected to theatres. This is why products related to theatres, such as chairs, speaker systems and other related services, are showcased at the convention.
But some of the biggest studios in the world make a beeline for the annual event to present their slate of movie releases over the next few months of the calendar year.
Teasers and trailers of highly anticipated movies are showcased in the Colosseum at Caesars Palace at the convention by the makers and the principal cast members. Sometimes, new titles and screenings are also held at the event.
The studios include the likes of Disney, Paramount, Sony Pictures, Universal, and Warner Bros. Discovery among others.
Like previous editions, CinemaCon 2023 is closed to the general public. There are no tickets for sale. Only the media and people from the industry, primarily those connected to theatres, are among the attendees.
The event will conclude with the Big Screen Achievement Awards, held in honour of celebrities whose contribution to cinema has helped the industry as a whole.

Warner Bros. Discovery
Warner Bros. Discovery presented a slew of trailers and announcement on 25 April, the second day of the mega event. Among the titles were three DC Extended Universe (DCEU) movies — The Flash, Blue Beetle and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Other films which had trailers, footage or news around them were Blue Beetle, Dune Part Two, Barbie, Beetlejuice 2 and Wonka among others.
New trailer and screening of The Flash
The first trailer of the upcoming film was released during Super Bowl LVII on 12 February 2023. The new trailer for CinemaCon, which was also released on online platforms, shows even more details of the film. The entire film was screened at the event later in the day for the attendees.
As for the new trailer of The Flash, nearly all of the main characters are seen in it. Ezra Miller plays two versions of Barry Allen in different realities. While Ben Affleck appears as Batman in his own reality, Michael Keaton returns as the Dark Knight in an alternate reality in the story. Sasha Calle’s Supergirl and Michael Shannon’s General Zod are also seen in much more detail in the new trailer.
Miller wasn’t present for the trailer release at the event, but director Andy Muschietti showered praises on the actor.
“One of the best actors I’ve ever worked with. Every tool in the toolkit… [Miller] is an incredible comedian, and [has] all the action required for a big spectacle like this,” he said.

Watch the new trailer below:
New Blue Beetle trailer shows more of villain Carapax
Though there was reportedly nothing that added to the already released trailer of Blue Beetle, the new footage had more of the villain Carapax.
The Blue Beetle footage shown at CinemaCon 2023 was very similar to the trailer that was recently released. However, it did give us an even better look at the villainous Carapax.
The trailer shows what fans have already seen, which is Xolo Maridueña’s Jamie Reye getting his hands on an alien object that looks like a mystical scarab which turns him into a superhero.
Blue Beetle is the first film from either DCEU or Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to have a Latin superhero. Maridueńa was joined on the stage by Puerto Rican director Angel Manuel Soto as they talked about the film.
The film will release on 18 August.
Watch first official trailer of the film below:
Extended look at Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is among the highly anticipated movies of 2023. One of the major reasons is because it is set to be the last film in the DCEU before the transition to the new DC Universe (DCU) headed by James Gunn.
Another reason is that Aquaman (2018) remains the highest-grossing movie among all DCEU films so far having earned USD 1.1 billion. So, box office watchers would expect this film to surpass that record in case The Flash doesn’t break it already.
Jason Momoa reprises his role as Arthur Curry aka Aquaman. Returning cast members include Patrick Wilson as Orm Marius, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as David Kane/Black Manta, Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Amber Heard as Mera, and Randall Park as Dr. Stephen Shin.
Both director James Wan and Momoa addressed the event via video.
Wan said that the sequel visits “beautiful strange new worlds” where it explores “interesting new characters.”
“It’s an action-adventure story with a really fun bromance between Arthur and Orm,” he said. “Orm was a villain the first time around, but this time Arthur needs him.”
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be released on 20 December.
Dune: Part Two first trailer released
Director Denis Villeneuve was joined by his A-list stars Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya for the trailer release of Dune: Part Two, the sequel to Dune (2021).
“Part One is more of a contemplative movie. Part Two is an action-packed, epic, war movie. It is much more dense. We went to all new locations,” Villeneuve said at CinemaCon 2023.
“I didn’t want a feeling of repetition. It’s all new sets. Everything is new,” he added.
Zendaya said that there is much more about her character, Chani, in the sequel as, “she’s not just in dreams this time.”
Reports say that the trailer, which was not released online following the unveiling, shows Chalamet’s Paul Atreides and Zendaya’s Chani sitting on dunes. Florence Pugh’s Princess Irulan and Austin Butler’s Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen are also seen in the trailer, which ends with Paul in a sandstorm.
The film is slated for release on 3 November.
Wonka trailer shows Hugh Grant and Timothée Chalamet
Chalamet was once again the toast of the event at CinemaCon 2023. Apart from Dune: Part Two, he is set to appear on screen in Wonka — the prequel to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971).
The first trailer of Wonka was showcased at the event. Chalamet, who plays the titular Willy Wonka, presented the trailer.
He said that the musical prequel is “a Willy that’s full of joy and optimism and hopes to become the greatest chocolatier of all time.”

The story follows a young Willy before he opens his elusive chocolate factory.
Among the other actors in the film are Olivia Colman, Keegan-Michael Key, Sally Hawkins, Matt Lucas, Rowan Atkinson, Natasha Rothwell, Rufus Jones, and Simon Farnaby.
Wonka will see a theatrical release on 15 December.
Barbie cast reveal new footage

Gosling said that he was not sure about playing Ken until “one day I was bleaching my hair and shaving my legs and it all came on like a fever.”
The extended trailer, which hasn’t been released online, reportedly shows Robbie’s Barbie entering the real world and finding it difficult to adjust to.
Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Hari Nef, John Cena, and Dua Lipa are among those who play versions of Barbie and Ken in the movie.
