The Flash reportedly has a 'secret ending' that Warner Bros is striving to keep under wraps until the movie hits cinemas.
With just under two weeks until the DC superhero makes his debut on the big screen, there is already speculation swirling about what fans can expect.
Check out the trailer here:
The studio's decision to have only one premiere has been deemed unusual by Hollywood standards.

However, according to Variety, a source close to the movie claims this is an attempt to keep the film's ending a secret.
The version The Flash that aired at ComicCon in April abruptly cut off before the final scene, while screenings on the Burbank studio lot had the ending intact but blurred out key elements.
With Ezra Miller's troubled legal history in recent years, the studio are reportedly looking to keep their options open in regards to the future of the franchise.

Miller is said to be keeping a low-profile amid the film's roll out, which is exceptionally rare as actors are often seen doing press tours to promote their new flick.
The troubled star will reportedly make an appearance at the Los Angeles premiere on 12 June, but will only be posing for photographs and will not give any interviews.
A source close to Miller, who uses they/them pronouns, said: "Ezra wants the movie to open and the conversation to be about the movie and not about Ezra.
"They are focused on their mental health and don’t want it to be transactional."
Miller has kept a low-profile since last summer when they sought help for a series of complex mental health issues, after legal issues involving battery charges and multiple arrests.

Despite the problems presented by the lead's absence on the press circuit, as per Variety, the movie is still set to gross $75 million on its opening weekend. This is higher than the opening for 2018's Aquaman which went on to gross more than $1 billion worldwide.
To compensate for Miller's seclusion, Warner Bros have pushed for promotion of the film elsewhere, with heavy rotation of the film's trailer during NBA and NHL playoffs.
Despite the controversy surrounding Miller, director Andy Muschietti has said that he would bring the actor back: "If [a sequel] happens, yes.
"I don’t think there’s anyone that can play that character as well as they did. The other depictions of the character are great, but this particular vision of the character, they just excelled in doing it. It feels like a character that was made for them."

The Flash will be in cinemas on 16 June.
