The New Mutants (rumor: July 13, 2018)
It’s about time someone made this film, a YA take on the X-Men. It’s a long time coming for a series ostensibly focused on a school, institutions usually populated by creatures known as children and teenagers. Williams and Taylor-Joy are perfect to play Wolfsbane and Magik respectively while Shipp and McAvoy would reprise their roles as Storm and Professor X. The team is rounded out by Cannonball, Sunspot and Mirage. We got a glimpse of a New Mutant costume via Negasonic Teenage Warhead in Deadpool.
That film was set in the present day, which could mean the same for this one although Shipp’s rumored involvement brings that into question (could it be another 90s film a la the next X-Men film? More on that next). For her part, Shipp enthusiastically told IGN she is willing to be in film as well as literally any other film they want her new Storm to be a part of.
Scripting and casting for this new iteration of the franchise has continued abreast while Boone in the meantime delayed one Stephen King adaptation, The Stand, for another, Revival starring Samuel L. Jackson. It seems likely The New Mutants will follow, with production occurring in 2017. My guess is it will occupy the July 2018 release date currently held by a Untitled Fox/Marvel placeholder.
