New Mutants New Mutants News and Discussion - Part 2

[Lucas Bishop]

Sunspot used to look like a spicy Jermaine Jackson...

Now he looks like Enrique Inglesias. But whatever.

Exactly, they could have easily casted a black actor for role, especially since Sunspot's mutation was triggered by a racial incident.

 

[Alison Blaire]

The trailer is fantastic!! I want more!

 

[psylockolussus]

Oh Lockheed. If that doesn't look low budget..

 

[Da-Scribe]

I'm on board for this. The low budget and small scale are what have my interest most. Great cast too and of course I'm digging the horror vibe. Feels refreshing. Hope this does well.

 

[Hellion]

Still not my preferred take on the characters, but much more excited with this trailer than the first. Optimistic I'd say compared to before.

 

[Flint Marko]

Really good trailer for what I suspect will ultimately be a perfectly okay movie that would fare better on Hulu.

I’m rooting for it but keeping my expectations in check.

 

[SuperT]

This looks DOPE! Magik looks awesome.

 

[-JKR-]

It does look dope, and personally I would love if it was a starting point for the new X-Men franchise, with the characters escaping and eventually meeting the new X-Men. But I think Disney will do what they usually do and just ignore everything and do their own take.

 

[The Infernal]

The latest trailer does look better I have to admit. Which makes me wonder what they would do if the film were a hit. In any case a follow on would have to account for the actors being a noticably older and you have to wonder the state of a sequel clause under new ownership and in a new cinematic universe. I doubt they could be compelled to do a Disney+ series because there was no accounting for that at the time.

 

[Darkprime]

ah guys... tell me this is a typo right or did Disney just spoil something that hasn't been announced yet?

 

[aleh0211]

That'd be a strange typo if you ask me...

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

They got hacked by that damn Kinberg.

 

[Slick]

If that’s not a typo then I guess Kevin Feige must of liked what he saw in the movie then. I guess we’ll see.

 

[Tim_Riggins]

I hope it’s not a typo but there have been rumors for a while of TNM joining the MCU. Feige apparently is one of those who pushed for Josh’s original cut to be released. Possible he might also add back footage that Fox forced him to cut.

This would be such an easy opportunity to introduce isolated mutants in the MCU, Wandavision could also maybe help with that. Also, the Fox X-Men universe references were cut from recent test screenings.

 

[Darkprime]

And now its been removed.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

That solves that mystery.

 

[Detective Conan]

New Mutants looks good, and I’d be fine if they retconned it into the MCU if the quality of the movie ends up living up to the new trailer but at the same time I like the fact this is a standalone movie with no connections to a wider universe and much prefer if the movie wasn’t part of the MCU at all.

Frankly, the chances of this actually being part of the MCU are practically zero. The only leftovers from Fox Feige is likely to retain for his universe is The-Merc-With-The-Mouth - everything else I believe will get a complete do-over. DP is flexible continuity wise that you can get away with it, and do a soft reboot of the DP character all while retaining the same actor and feel. New Mutants is a different story altogether, and I think Feige would not be interested in carrying this version of those characters into his universe.


Edit: I see this has been corrected. False alarm. Carry on!

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

It will be interesting to see what happens if this becomes a big hit though. Probably not much, but I bet they will consider things more.

I doubt much. But hopefully it'll inspire more horror takes on the SH genre

I also doubt that this will be a hit, but we'll see

 

[psylockolussus]

Its not joining the mcu.

 

[Zyraquis]

It’s not April 1st yet?

 

[Tim_Riggins]

The fact is, none of us can say with ABSOLUTE certainty that this won’t join the MCU. If (and the trailer is very popular) it does well, then all bets are off. I’m sure psylock will disagree as he always does and ***** and moan though.

Is it, tho? Most of the people I've seen talking about it are X-Men fans. The trailer doesn't even have 10 million views yet..

The MCU should introduce it's own versions of Bobby, Dani, Rahne, Illyana and Sam in the future. These are legacy characters and the X-Men have not even been established yet in the MCU.

 

[imbruglia]

If this was in mcu, marvel/disney would promote it like they do it with their own.
so far there is no big push from them. I mean.. no push at all.
and that says all.

 

[Hollis Mason]

If this makes money, they will continue it. Some people really think they live in a world where companies care about anything but money.
