Disney publicity has tweeted out a cool new poster for the upcoming X-Men feature, The New Mutants. This is the last movie in the franchise that was developed by 20th Century Fox (now known as 20th Century Studios) before the merger. After many delays, the film is set to be released April 3 of this year.
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.
