The New Mutantstrailer is here sooner than anyone expected. Have you ever wondered what it might be like if someone made a horror movie with a bunch of mutant superheroes in it? Wonder no longer, because director Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) has done exactly that with theX-Menspin-offThe New Mutants. Now, we have the very first teaser trailer for the movie, which promises something the likes of which we’ve never seen in theX-Menuniverse before. Or really in a superhero movie in general, for that matter.
Josh Boone promised yesterday that theNew Mutantsteaser trailer would debut at 12:01 a.m. and it was delivered as promised. AsNew Mutantshas been teased as the first everMarvel horror movie, the director and Fox appear to be leaning pretty heavily into that angle, as they decided to release the trailer on Friday the 13th. A day synonymous with horror. After seeing the trailer, it’s easy to see why. It looks like the success of bothDeadpoolandLoganhave really encouraged Fox to start taking some risks. With the success ofITand other massive horror movies lately, this is a risk that could pay off in a big way.
For those who may not be familiar,The New Mutantsare a group ofteenage mutantswho are still in training that has some overlap with the coreX-Menteam. The team first appeared in the world of Marvel Comics in 1982 and was co-created by comic book legend Chris Claremont, with Bob McLeod. It looks like the movie is going to take some liberties with the source material, as these things typically do, but that doesn’t look to be a bad thing in this case.
The movie version ofNew Mutantsfeatures ayoung team of mutantsthat may not be familiar to more casual fans, but are ones that die-hard Marvel readers are likely looking forward to seeing on the big screen. The movie sees Russian teen Magik, played by Anya Taylor-Joy (Split), Scots girlWolfsbane played by Maisie Williams(Game of Thrones), Danielle Moonstar, played by Blu Hunt (The Originals), Brazilian ladies man Sunspot, played by Henry Zaga (13 Reasons Why), Cannonball, played by Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things), and Dr. Cecilia Reyes, played Alice Braga (I am Legend). This is a far cry from the mutants we’re used to seeing in theX-Menuniverse.
New Mutantsis just one of threeX-Menmovies that Fox has coming out next year, withDeadpool 2andX-Men: Dark Phoenixalso slated for release. ButNew Mutantshits theaters first, as the movie is scheduled to arrive on August 25, 2025. No doubt, there’s going to a ton of hype forDeadpool 2andX-Men: Dark Phoenix, but with a really refreshing concept, this movie has the chance to be the one we’re all talking about next year.
