You're right that the trailer will probably at least hint at his motives. As for Menma, they actually showed quite a bit of him (revealed that he was "black Naruto"), but there was really nothing about his motivations, and not his name. Even the Road to Ninja guidebook they released with volume 61 was pretty devoid of information on him, just having his masked design and calling him the Masked Man.

Well, I guess we're less than two months from the movie, anyway. Not a long wait to find out the core plot details, even if the movie probably won't be seen outside of Japanese theaters for another 6~12 months. Here's to hoping that Viz pushing out the last three movies in record time was all in anticipation of getting this one out in a timely manner.
