Since the movie is focused on Kaiba, it would make sense for his fixation on the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the reason behind it to be addressed because of how integral it is to his character. Kisara could appear when it comes up, maybe in a dream or flashback or in tying in with the above theory of incorporating elements from her AbortedArc with Priest Seto. Alternatively, a modern version of her could show up (probably not an actual reincarnation because her spirit is the Blue-Eyes, unless there's a HandWave explanation, but she could echo Kisara in appearance/personality) to hint at a ReincarnationRomance with Kaiba.

[[WMG: The plot will involve [[spoiler: Aigami trying to steal the Pharaoh's power.]]]]
The second trailer and images show the Puzzle with a piece missing. It's implied Kaiba rescued it and is trying to reassemble it, presumably to [[spoiler:get Atem back from the Afterlife]]. The one with the missing piece is Aigami, who wants to use the Puzzle as a conduit to [[spoiler: create a bridge to the Afterlife and steal Atem's magic]]. The trailer shows him with the beginnings of the Millennium eye on his forehead and an army of kids with golden eyes, so presumably he then intends to [[spoiler:use the Pharaoh's power for world domination, since the Pharaoh himself is no longer around to stop him.]] The Puzzle presumably still has some link to the Pharaoh, having housed his soul for so long.

[[WMG: Yugi has a job at a cafe where cardgames are allowed.]]
Why else would he be wearing something other than his school uniform in the second trailer?

***Either way having [[spoiler: a movie that sounds like it will have an alternate dimension and an anime with an alternate dimensions plot]] coming out at the same time, especially since ARC V has been a giant tribute to the entire franchise, seems pretty fishy to me. Even if one is manga verse and the other anime...still fishy.

** Or the name Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon comes from the fact that it's based on the alternative design of [=BEWD=] that will be featured in the movie.

This is mostly for fanon and StatusQuoIsGod reasons, since while it would make Kaiba look stronger and imply he had finally conquered the demons that stopped him winning, it would probably hurt Yugi's original character arc of becoming a strong duelist if he were to lose to Kaiba, the one person Atem routinely and constantly beat, so soon after becoming another person to hold the title King of Games.

According to WordOfGod, Kazuki Takahashi fell ill while writing the end of the Millennium World story arc but was unable to take time off to recover. As such, he had to cut Priest Seto's story arc short. He may use this film as an opportunity to tell that story, either by reworking it around modern day Seto (i.e. Kaiba) or referring to it as something that happened in the past but wasn't seen in the manga/ anime [[spoiler: (as the Pharaoh's memories seen therein are revealed to be Bakura's RPG Shadow Game )]].
