On Wednesday night, CW18 Milwaukee shared the trailer on social media, giving fans their best look yet at what is in store for the Scarlet Speedster as the Arrowverse comes to an end — including the future for Barry and Iris as well as the tease of a potential new villain: a new speedster who wants to build a time machine.
