Anticipation for X-Men: Apocalypse is building up with the movie coming out next month, but fans can look forward to more X-Men movies beyond Apocalypse. One of these is the spin-off movie based on The New Mutants comic series.
While little is known about the film, Producer Simon Kinberg has offered an update on the status of the films production. Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) is directing the film.
Kinberg is quoted as saying the following:
“Josh Boone and his writing partner are working on the script. They’re doing a really nice job of it, and it’s a really cool one, because in many ways, like Deadpool was so different from the mainline X-Men movies, New Mutants… It’s maybe not as different as Deadpool, but it has its own unique, original voice to it. That’s the fun for me, working in the X-Men universe, creating these sort of standalone movies that have a different vibe to them. And New Mutants has more of a YA [Young Adult] vibe to it.”
As far as what characters will be included, Kinberg had the following to say:
“There’s a very deep bench. There’s a long, long list of names, and I’ll tell you some of the names on that list I don’t even know. That’s how deep it goes. Traditionally, the New Mutants have some characters that cross over from the mainline X-Men movies. As we are going, I would say it’s likely that you will see some familiar faces.”
New Mutants characters have already started appearing in the mainline X-Men movies, with both Warpath and Sunspot featuring in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
