The twitter account for the upcoming X-Men film The New Mutants has tweeted out three new sets of photos featuring actors from the film, to complement the photos of Blu Hunt posted two days ago.
The first set features Herny Zaga of Teen Wolf fame, who plays Roberto da Costa aka Sunspot. The Brazilian actor plays a Brazilian mutant who can absorb and channel solar power.
Next are photos of Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) as Rahne Sinclair, aka Wolfsbane. She's a Scottish character who can transform into a wolf or a wolf-human hybrid. She has a troubled past with religion, as suggested by one of the photos being a crucifix in her hands.
Finally, we have Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things) as Sam Guthrie, better known as Cannoball. Sam comes from a Kentucky coal mining community and has the ability to fly at high speeds, and is invulnerable to harm when he does.
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.
