Sequels The New Mutants - Josh Boone to Direct - Part 1

[C. Lee]

I have a suggestion for everyone in general and one person in particular.....if you don't want someone making posts complaining about something you posted....then don't make the snarky posts in response to something they posted in the first place.

 

[psylockolussus]

You can't really deny the fact that the period setting limits crossover potential though. Not to mention more OT characters being rebooted as "born earlier". I mean I can't see them going on for much longer without using Kitty Pryde, Rogue, Iceman, etc.

Let's also remember the main character of New Mutants is Colossus' little sister... and Colossus is an adult in present day with Deadpool. Mess!

Yeah I've mentioned that. They could easily include a Colossus cameo in a present day New Mutants film. In the 80s setting? Colossus would be like 7 to 12 years old? And who wants to see that? Are we gonna see Rogue, Kitty and Iceman in their teen years again?

Probably yeah but at the same time i don't get the feeling cross overs are all that important to fox and those involved as even the deadpool guys said they by choice kinda want to stay clear of X-Men team characters.

But hey since they are doing new mutants and X-MEN they already have crossover potential with characters from both teams right there, especially if they are set around the same time.

Well do you really need iceman, kitty or rogue for the time being? no not really, i get many would prefer to see them but there are so many characters already that you don't really need them at this time.

Thats nothing new to this universe but it probably won't make or break New Mutants though.

I was originally turned off from this movie because of all the characters being no-names

Alot of New Mutant's > X-MEN

Yeah don't get the big deal on this issue. If they do right by Cable, and the character is comic accurate, then time travel will be in the mix. That opens the door for crossovers. If not, then you'd still get X-Force/Deadpool and possibly X-Men/New Mutants.

 

[marvelrobbins]

it's pretty obvious with patrick stewart saying logan is probally his last X film,unlike jackman not because he wants to leave,it will be set in past and will have mcavoy as Xavier.

If they use X-men in title one crazy possibilty,that i don't like but it has to be entertained,is fox is going to put the main X_Men films and characters on hold.do new mutants as trilogy in past.only get mcavoy as xavier or possibly use the options of apocalypse cast to be supporting or small roles in new mutants trilogy.In present day do deadpool II which introduces cable and domino.if gambit is ever made it too could be in present.Deadpool III would be
set in post logan timeframe and introduce X_force and then fox could do poential X-force trilogy.

I am not really a fan of sidelining the core X-Men characters.now at least with new mutants i am aware of their adventres.with Deadpool i only knew him from appeaces in X-force and wolverine.With X-force yes i am very aware of the cable X-force of 1990's but not more recent one although my gut tells me film version will be cross between 1990's version and uncanny X-force version with deadpool.

If new mutants has title X-Men with it and they are planing trilogy the chance that it will be the next "X-Men" films has to be considered.Mcavoy and apocalypse cast members could appear In new mutants.and always possable indivual OT cast members could show up In X-force films.

 

[Sithborg]

I think making a good movie is better than making it possible for crossovers. Frankly, I just want New Mutants to do its own thing.

I am in the minority and don't care about other films being able to crossover
with deadpool.

Quite honestly too many studios nowadays worry too much about shared universe thing.

I find it ironic that many who based fox and bryan singer made X_Men films that were wolverine and the X-Men but they would be fine with turning franchise into deadpool & rest.

would new mutants actully be any better if it was in present just so TNW could show up? the new mutants runs from 1982 to 1991 and demon bear comics were cerca 1984.so setting it in past would be true to the comics.

 

[-JKR-]

I'd like to see it set in present day for VERY different reasons than psylockolossus's, but if it's set in the 1980's I'm fine with it, as long as Josh Boone makes a kick-ass movie.

 

[DavidHaller]

I really do not care when it takes place...

 

[Zant]

If Deadpool, X-Force and Gambit are all set in the present day, wouldn't it make sense to place the characters from X-Men 7 in the present day as well? It makes it so much easier to do the crossovers the kids today love so much.

Kids today may not be as cross over obsessed as people might think. Make a good film that is appealing enough first to stand on its own and it will do well.There be the usual xmen universe tie ins and who knows, Deadpool does have a time traveler buddy with him.

 

[marvelrobbins]

there can't be an X-men 7.DOFP erased X-men 1-3.

Everything is pointing to New mutants being set in past and with Mcavoy as xavier.there is plenty to suggest fox views Apocalyps and logan as end
of "Singerverse" now there is always possibly Deadpool III or X-force trilogy,assuming X-force trilogy follows Deadpool Trilogy,might feature a couple of OT actors assuming Logan doesn't say they are all dead.The actors they hired for apocalypse have 2 more films on their contract so perhapes that will be used for new mutants films.Boone could always have the X-men help train
new mutants similar to how Ot and future ending of DOFP had X-men as teachers at the school.Or X-Men are needed at some point to help bail new mutants out.

with regards to cable inless it has changed cable doesn't go back and forth from past to present.

after cable was taken to baby to future when he came backas cable inless he went back to his future world he didn't go back and forth the way some are taking for granted.

Since Boone is comptent director who has history at fox he will probally be allowed to make film he wants if he does it on budget fox wants.now who knows how he will be in X-Men world but I am willing to see what he can do.
while i am not wild on idea of scraping main X-Men for spin-offs this intrests me more than deadpool sequels.

 

[x-er]

I think New Mutants works by itself. People should be able to see the X on their uniforms and make the connection (posters, trailers). Imagine, for example, if this was a New Mutant poster (with the title in it, more colorful, and the X fairly visible):

uniform in Deadpool:

I have a hunch what if Fox is waiting to see how Marvel handles their properties crossing over, Avengers, Guardians, etc in Infinity War and they will use the New Mutants to cross over with the X-Men to stop Dark Phoenix? We've heard rumors that Shipp's Storm is supposed to cameo, McAvoy is rumored to since Stewart is most likely done. From a marketing standpoint it's genius! To factions of X-teams coming together to fight one of their own? It's something not done yet in the cinematic universe. We know Fox wants to re tackle the DP saga and my hunch is that they're waiting to see how well New Mutants does in the box office. If it's a hit and fans want more their is no doubt we're going to both teams team up.

 

[NotNickFury]

I'd say Fox is more just prioritizing the New Mutants, Logan, and films from Deadpool onward due to Apocalypse's lukewarm performance. We know they're gung ho about redoing Phoenix Saga, but the main series is probably on the back-burner while that project gets a director, and hopefully a writer that isn't Simon Kinberg.

Besides, we've barely gotten to know how this new roster at the end of Apocalypse functions as a team. It would make more sense, I think, to give us at least one film that lets them develop as a unit instead of just throwing them together with New Mutants without allowing the audience to see how the new X-Men team has developed after the events of Apocalypse.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Thing is fox can't wait too long or the apocalypse cast options run out.

When you remember the second part of first class trilogy was DOFP it's entirely possibly you have new mutants trilogy

film 1-they get mcavoy back and use the apocalypse cast options

film 2-is redoiver of dark phoenix with Mcavoy,Apocalypse cast,and the new mutants.and unlike DOFP it can be a more balanced act of having X-Men and new mutants casts together.

film 3-is primaly a new mutants centric film just as apocalypse was first class sequel.

you can have demon bear in film 1.Sinister and dark phoenix in film 2 and then demonic villain in film 3.

God no.

Like I said in the past, I care about the X-Men more than the solo titles and splinter teams, I couldn't care less about a New Mutants film if we are getting a X-Men movie featuring the a listers like Rogue ,Gambit, Iceman and no Magneto/Quicksilver/Mystique but if they planning to make 2 to 3 spin off series, they might want to set them up in the same time period. It would be easier for the general audience to follow and they love cameos which is what MCU is doing so well and that'd be easier if they are all in the 2010s. Logan is just gonna make the timeline even more confusing, so they should avoid more of that. In the long run, it would hurt the series especially at the Box office. Fox is already way behind DC and Marvel at this year box-office total.

 

[Zant]

For a 17 year old franchise Fox should count themselves lucky that they are still making money from the x films, especially with all the competition They don't have to beat DC or Marvel to be successful. Deadpool made more money than 80% of the MCU but I don't think Fox cares about that fact.

fact both of DC films have far more bad critical reaction than Apocalypse.

Fox is in much better shape than sony so people need to get out of their heads the idea fox will get on their knee and give control of X-men to disney,allow X-Men to be In avengers film for their solo benefit of distributing marvel studios produced and control X related films.

Feige and his team has done the impossable make me not even care about a new spider-man film.

It was clear back in 2014 with the erasing of non-fc films from contunity with DOFP time travel that fox had no plans to do more with original cast.Now if Hugh Jackman hadn't deceded after the wolverine and DOFP he only wanted to do one more film a final wolverine solo film they likely would have him with younger cast.

untill fox reboots entire series,which could happen after Deadpool III,especilly if X_Men:New mutants isn't seen as success and if Reynolds diva behaver causes problems eventully between him & fox and he leaves after deadpool III,X-Men will be the younger cast In their own films or supporting characters In New Mutants

Only way i see after Logan fox ever using original trilogy cast members again is if 2 or 3 were used in X_force trilogy,if that happens after Deadpool trilogy,or if fox can sussfuly offer jackman enough money to come back for film with apocalypse cast.Quite honestly that is more likely to happen than a wolverine/Deadpool film.

 

[Stan Lee]

Much of the DC film's money came from advanced tickets.

Deadpool was only beaten by Iron Man 3 and the basic avengers films-original,AOU,Civil War.

Since fox is in much better shape than sony they will do what they want or what whose vision they listen to.Post rothman inless they panic they tend to listen to filmmakers.

There is no question original cast has more appeal than first class cast.

First Class was more or less a prequel because jackman was still playing wolverine.DOFP was their attempt to hav eboth ways with "reboot" free the
first class cast from being bound to OT but still try to see the old films are
connected to old films.

It's in whelm of possibilty fox will try to keep franchise going with spin-offs-deadpool,New mutants,X-force and have X-Men as supporting charactets in them.

don't forget fox's real disaster of 2016 was Independence day sequel

for those wanting X_Men in present day that may be complicated by what happens In Logan.It's possable franchise plans are X-Men and new mutants
In past and deadpool and X-force in present and near future.

continuity has never been a priority for the x-franchise. I think there will be some cameos in new mutants to help sell it to the audience. Which time period probably depends on which actors are available and how cheap they are. I'm not sure cameo appearances count as film contact options for the apocalypse generation cast. Cameos don't count for actors in the mcu.

Deadpool is a ongoing franchise set currently so they are going to have two different ongoing time periods anyway if they continue with the prequel cast in the eighties.

Kodi Smit- McPhee + Anya Taylor-Joy scene & a Sophie Turner + Maisie Williams scene would be good

 

[marvelrobbins]

if fox doesn't do full X-Men film but instead focusing on new mutants trilogy as followup to first class trilogy they could use the 2 film options they have and have cyclops,Jean,Storm,nightcrawler appear In Supporting roles along with renegorate with Mcavoy who by all accounts is most likely of the first class big 4 to resign.

quite honestly some of fanbase would react well to see Xavier in supporting role and cyclops,jean,storm,and nightcrawler in few scenes and not have X-Men film written by Kinberg
