Jesus. This is not a mcu thread.

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

Ummm. Dark PhoeniX was marketed as the end of the series that started with X1 even before it bombed. Tell me what would have they done if that movie overperformed then?

While with this film, they are not going to say its a 1 and done especially it has yet to hit theaters.

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.

5.5 million is not very popular especially the view count for the trailers of other foX Marvel films have earned more than that within a week. I'm sure the trailer was uploaded in numerous social media accounts and the other YouTube channels, but you don't see FoX or Disney bragging about the viewership of New Mutants' trailer if its really popular.

That's not the point. The point is that this is bussiness. Disney/Marvel will care if the profit is big. Thinking otherwise is pure ignorance. Greedy corporations aren't your friend, nor they care about one may think, or anything that doesn't give them profit.
This is a project that could easily be marketed as a "start" or something like that, considering there seems to be a lack of connection to other installments.

Isn't a big deal, tho. Any smart studio would do thr same with a project that becomes popular and has success. That is, of course, taking in consideration this could get good reception, which i doubt will. Problaby will get forgotten in some weeks and trashed. But if it is a success, i don't have any doubt Disney will make a sequel or some **** like that.

 

[psylockolussus]

Well in my opinion, it won't be a big boX office success. It would just come and go just like Dark PhoeniX.

Also Kevin Feige already has plans for the Mutants and I doubt that includes retaining the cast of this film.

 

[Iceman]

Maybe if they knock Magik out of the park Feige will be tempted to throw her into Strange 3 and then X-Men.

New trailer is nice!

X-Men New Mutants producer reveals when spin-off takes place

After years of delays, the latest X-Menspin-off film The New Mutants is finally on track for release in April, and we're all hoping it proves that it's worth the wait and performs better than X-Men: Dark Phoenix.

The movie is set to follow five young mutants who are just discovering their abilities – played by Maisie Williams, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Heaton, Blu Hunt and Henry Zaga – as they fight to escape the secret facility they're being held in against their will.

And while we don't know much else about what to expect from the X-Men horror film, we do at least know when in time it's taking place.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other press on a set visit in 2017 back when the movie was shooting, New Mutants producer Karen Rosenfelt shed a bit of light on its setting.

"It's contemporary timeless," she said. "We don't define where we are, but it is today. It's contemporary. It's not way in the future and it's not in the past."

When questioned on whether New Mutants was in the same timeline as 2011's X-Men: First Class, Rosenfelt further explained that the new film is "its own thing".

"I think it's safe to say," she added. "But again, what we're striving for, as they did with Deadpool, is what Fox and Simon [Kinberg] are doing with each of the franchises in the X-Men universe is making them all signature unique."

X-Men New Mutants producer reveals when spin-off takes place

""It's contemporary timeless," she said."

Yeah, that tells us so much about exactly when NM takes place.

It's hilarious that set visits for this movie took place way back in 2017. The whole sad ordeal would have been over and done with two years ago if Kinberg hadn't gotten the bright idea to meddle with Boone's production.

 

[psylockolussus]

It just shows how messy this franchise is/was. In a time when mcu is striving and Dceu is trying to catch up on Mcu.you would think a film franchise like the X-Men would have the advantage about world building and cross overs as their first three films was released before the mcu's first film was released in theaters. Deadpool and its characters were separated, Logan killed all the original characters on screen and off screen, there was a X-Men group stuck in the past rehashing things again and there's this.... they easily could have been featured some famous X-Men but nope. Also, its intentionally made it low budget which is so odd given how Marvel in general have gotten bigger with the mainstream due to the mcu films. Even mid tier film franchises, Underworld, Resident Evil and Kingsman look better and more eXpensive than this thing.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Why do people insist on saying 'all' of the X-Men were killed in Logan when the radio clearly says that only some of them were killed.

So what do you want me to assume, the rest are alive and just happened to leave Logan and Xavier in a slump? So Nope. Who knows those "ONLY some of them" you are referring are all the other ot characters. The fact that "just some" of them were killed off screen already is a big disservice. You are not going to change my mind.

It is stated in the movie that some of them were killed, not all of them. Logan was in hiding in the movie, hence his surprise at Pierce finding them and Logan using his James Howlett name. The other X-Men may simply not have been to find him. Or they didn't want to knowing how dangerous Xavier is, especially with the government labelling his mind as a WMD.

It's not about changing your mind it's about what's stated to us in the movie. If you wanna ignore that it's up to you but it just further confirms your bias against these movies.

Yeah I'm ignoring what you just said. You don't need to comment again and again in my every post. I don't nag you, everytime you say Endgame didn't live upto your eXpectations for the umpteenth time despite you giving the movie an 8.5. Lol. Well this is the first time I've ever commented on that, despite seeing your repetition about that movie because I'm not here to criticize posters about their movie opinions, unlike what you are doing here.

I don't care if you think I'm bias. I was right about Dark PhoeniX after all, you weren't. And I'm probably right about the New Mutants as well. And if I'm not. So what. I stay on topic unlike you.

You don't criticise movie opinions but state you were right about Dark Phoenix and I wasn't? Curious also what were you right about, as I voiced concerns from the start about Kinberg directing and criticised Fox for appointing him.

When was the last time I said that about Endgame BTW? I think you will find it was a while ago. And with Endgame I expected a 10/10 movie. So 8.5 doesn't live up to my expectations. You may right about New Mutants but whey keep commenting about it and criticising it when you aren't even going to watch it. Fox are gone, you have a whole new X-Men universe to look forward to. And lol about you keeping things on topic when you mentioned Logan in the first place. Also, what the movie states isn't an opinion, it is what is stated in the movie.

Digital Spy: "Hey Karen, when is New Mutants taking place?"

Karen Rosenfelt: "It's contemporary timeless."

DS: "Huh?"

KR: "It's whenever..."

 

[psylockolussus]

Contemporary timeless yet it looks so dated.

1987 called. It wants its horror movie back.

 

[Weather Witch]

Jesus. This is not a mcu thread.

That thing about the pot and the kettle.

Well I'm entitled to my opinion and it does look like a tv movie eXpecially compare to the recent MCU films.

Feige has plans for the neXt five years (...) Does this movie even have a shot of outgrossing the lowest mcu film in North America?

Its not joining the mcu.

Also Kevin Feige already has plans for the Mutants and I doubt that includes retaining the cast of this film.

In a time when mcu is striving and Dceu is trying to catch up on Mcu. You would think a film franchise like the X-Men would have the advantage about world building and cross overs as their first three films was released before the mcu's first film was released in theaters. (...) Also, its intentionally made it low budget which is so odd given how Marvel in general have gotten bigger with the mainstream due to the mcu films.

Endgame didn't live upto your eXpectations

And that's just the last 3 pages. Jesus. This is not a mcu thread.

Originally slated for release almost exactly two years prior, The New Mutants arrives in theaters at an awkward time… if it even arrives at all. Principal photography wrapped just a few months before Disney announced its acquisition of 20th Century Fox, though the film reportedly needed extensive reshoots, causing the release to be bumped to February 22, 2019, then to August 2, 2019 and then finally to the current date of April 3, 2020. In New Mutants fashion, though, the reshoots themselves have not even happened, with producer Simon Kinberg stating in May that they haven’t happened since they’re waiting for the cast’s schedules to clear up. This was originally billed as the first superhero horror movie… with the studio then paring back the horror elements only to then re-shape the movie closer to director Josh Boone’s original horror vision. Given this over-complicated approach to the production, and the fact that the last X-Men movie, Dark Phoenix, was basically dead on arrival ($65.8 million domestic) with a much more notable cast, I can’t imagine The New Mutants making any waves at the box office… if it’s ever released in theaters at all. $12.6 million debut, $56.8 million domestic

Another Marvelfilm missing the $100 million mark eh? Smh

I don't agree with the predictions in that article eXpecially their prediction is not even close to what Bad Boys got last weekend. But if The New Mutants movie opens more or less $12 million, there's no way it would have 3x multiplier.

Very cool. Evocative of the cover of the issue where the Beyonder killed all the New Mutants.
