While we'd like to believe that some massive plot twists and diabolical double-crosses are what the trailer showcases, for the most part it's all story beats and themes that fit with speculating from the outset.
That doesn't mean there isn't room for further speculation. The roles that Coldblood (James Badge Dale) and Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) will play in the story, for instance, but how influential they are to the larger story is still up for debate.
That's our take on what questions (and answers) the first trailer brought into the open, but we'd love to hear your insights. What stood out the most for you? Think there is an aspect of the trailer that's been overlooked? Sound off in the comments.
