They are cutting it pretty close if May is truly the start date. Or at least it seems that way.
Seems pre-production has started, wish they would tell us when it's being released though, always nice to have a date to look forward too.
or confirm some actors.we have rumors but no conifrmations.
my bet through is new mutants is the june 2018 film.reason why i feel deadpool 2 which is susposeto go into filming in june likely will need less cgi work than new mutants.
Neither New Mutants nor Deadpool 2 will make a March 2018 release date, me thinks (despite being smaller scale, Deadpool started filming in February 2015 for a February 2016 release date, they won't make March, considering they'll start filming in June - and I'm sure the sequel will be slightly bigger than the original). I bet they'll take the June (Deadpool 2) and November (New Mutants) spots.
Sites scouts have looked at include Medfield State Hospital, where some scenes in Shutter Island were filmed.
Demon Bear feels like it would be a difficult fit for the first story with them given the need for setup,
it's looking like X-men film shooting in june that sophie turner mentioned she was shooting later this year was actully new mutants

thing is,if a new x-men film is shooting in june very strange it is middle of april and still no director attached officially.back in 2010 vaughn was hired in may and they started filming in late august.
from past if new mutants is shooting in june we should start to get casting in may.
A director is attached, whether we like it or not.
