“The New Mutants,” an original horror thriller set in an isolated hospital where a group of young mutants is being held for psychiatric monitoring. When strange occurrences begin to take place, both their new mutant abilities and their friendships will be tested as they battle to try and make it out alive.
Plot and Characters
The plot of The New Mutants revolves around five young mutants who are just beginning to discover their extraordinary abilities. These characters include Rahne Sinclair (Maisie Williams), who can transform into a wolf; Illyana Rasputin (Anya Taylor-Joy), who wields sorcery and can teleport; Sam Guthrie (Charlie Heaton), who can propel himself into the air at jet speeds; Danielle Moonstar (Blu Hunt), who can create illusions based on the fears and desires of others; and Roberto da Costa (Henry Zaga), who can manipulate solar energy. Held in a secret facility against their will, they must confront their past sins and work together to escape.
Production and Release
The New Mutants has had a tumultuous production history. Initially, the film was slated for release in April 2018, but it faced multiple delays due to reshoots and the acquisition of 20th Century Fox by Disney. The film’s horror elements set it apart from other entries in the X-Men franchise, aiming to bring a fresh and thrilling perspective to the superhero genre. Director Josh Boone, known for his work on The Fault in Our Stars, brings a unique vision to the film, blending elements of horror, drama, and action.
The New Mutants is scheduled to be released in the United States on April 3, 2020, a date set by Disney after it acquired Fox and its assets. This acquisition has led to speculation about how the film will fit into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). While it remains unclear if the characters from The New Mutants will appear in future MCU films, fans are excited to see how this new chapter in the X-Men saga unfolds.
