Warner Bros.’ NFT unit has unveiled a new Web3 experience for the recently released DC Comics superhero more The Flash, which reportedly flopped at the box office.
According to an announcement from Warner Bros. Digital Collectibles, The Flash Web3 Movie Experience will launch on July 18 and will include NFT collections, AR experiences, access to behind-the-scenes content and the full film in 4K Ultra HD, to name a few.
