A Justice League test screening took place recently, and audience reaction was largely positive. Although Iris West (Kiersey Clemons) didn’t appear in the screened cut, her love interest - Barry Allen, aka The Flash (Ezra Miller) – was apparently everyone's favorite character.
DC Films co-head Geoff Johns participated in the Warner Bros. presentation at the recent National Association of Theatre Owners Fall Summit. Attendee Chris Sylvia, Regal Cinemas VP, tweeted that when Johns took the stage, he announced that Miller's Scarlet Speedster was the "collective favorite" among those who attended the Justice League screening. Check out Sylvia's tweets below!

Although some fans weren’t thrilled when Miller was cast as The Flash, it's really not surprising that the test audience fell in love with the character. A group of reporters who visited the Justice League set in 2016 shared that Miller's superhero supplied the wow factor. Also, based on the trailers we’ve seen so far, he’s the movie’s main source of levity.
Speaking of trailers, Sylvia tweeted that Warner Bros. screened a new one in the final moments of their presentation at the industry event. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to get our hands on a description, but here's the tweet!

Justice League will hit theaters in about seven weeks, so the new trailer is likely to surface online within the next few days. The studio's next big release, Blade Runner 2049, will open on October 6, and New York Comic-Con will kick off on October 5. Chances are good that the trailer might drop on either day.
