Will we ever see The New Mutants movie? That's a question you can ask director Josh Boone next week as he joins the cast of the film and podcaster Ira Madison III for a film panel during the Comic-Con @Home event. The online discussion happens July 23 at 2pm pt. The movie is officially due in theaters August 28, but given the shaky ground that the movie industry currently stands on, expect more delays.
The New Mutants is directed by Josh Boone (The Fault in our Stars) from a script he co-wrote with Knate Lee, both self-described fans of the comics.
The cast includes Anya Taylor-Joy as Magik, Maisie Williams as Wolfsbane, Charlie Heaton as Cannonball, Henry Zaga as Sunspot, Blu Hunt as Mirage and Alice Braga as Cecilia Reyes. The film reshapes the comic book story with horror overtones. Instead of being educated at an upstate school the five young mutants are imprisoned in a secret asylum-like facility.
