While Fox’s central XMen franchise ended with last summer’s DarkPhoenix, The NewMutants showcases there’s still gas in that tank
spin-off was all the way back on Oct. 13, 2017. It’s enough to make one superstitious, if not already. After rumors of requested reshoots from Fox, director Josh Boone confirmed on Instagram last week that the version ofcoming to his theaters is his original cut and vision. Thankfully, we can avoid the whole #ReleaseTheBooneCut ordeal that was practically a sleeping dragon at this point.
Based off of the team created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, the film focuses on five teenage mutants: Danielle Moonstar/Mirage , Rahne Sinclair/Wolfsbane , Sam Guthrie/Cannonball , Roberto da Costa/Sunspot , and Illyana Rasputin/Magik . Kept in a special institute, a far cry from Xavier’s School for Gifted Children, the young mutants are observed by Dr. Cecilia Reyes who has mutant powers of her own.
looks like its having fun with comic book concepts and rather than looking for a way to create realism it’s exploring them through a new genre, one rarely seen in movie based on Marvel or DC characters. Even two years later, the same aspect that madeso appealing then still has weight now. It looks like a welcome deviation from the norm of superhero movies and a vision that comes entirely from the director’s passion for the property.
Back in 2017, after the release of the initial trailer, Boone discussed his plans for a sequel, confirming that he originally pitched the film to producer Simon Kinberg as a trilogy with each entry exploring a different horror subgenre with the events in the comics serving as the basis. Given the scope ofto become a franchise as storied and long-running as Fox’sCentury Fox may change all of that.
