Awesome, hope we hear some casting news soon, though I think we already know some even if it isn't official. Not as familiar with the New Mutants as the main team but Looking forward to this a lot.

 

[Matt Mortem]

So Maisie Williams and Anya Taylo-Joy are both confirmed to be in this? I thought that was rumor.

It's still is rumour at this point, they haven't been confirmed officially. But many believe they have indeed been cast.

 

[JP]

Filming is close. We should get confirmations very soon. Maybe a press release. Or maybe Boone on twitter/insta

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Why haven't they confirmed anything yet?

 

[Sithborg]

They've been playing New Mutants and Dark Phoenix pretty close to the chest.

 

[Loki882]

Maybe they want to make sure that everything is 100% in place first. BTW, here's what Anya said not too long ago:

"I'm about to start work on something that I can't really talk about, but I'm very very excited about."



(Fingers crossed).

Just like LOGAN.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Just like LOGAN.

yep glad they seem to be calling this just new mutants.

and yes logan was very secretive too.

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

What year should this be in 1986, 1987, 1988 or 1989?

 

[marvelrobbins]

1989

 

[Rowsdower!]

Screw it. Make everything present day. Fox has played it pretty loose with continuity up to this point anyway and setting it in the past just means increasing the budget unnecessarily.

 

[Drseuss]

lot of stuff were cooking up, amazing

 

[Mad Ones]

need . the . casting . now

lol it does seem like they're taking a page out of Logan's production book, so hopefully it can keep momentum going.

And hopefully they stay true to the horror tone they've talked about.

 

[kevork89]

They've been working on this for quite some time. I wouldn't be surprised if they casted the key roles a while ago and just waiting. Which is good too. And Anya is on the rise so snagging her right now is a complete win. Fox have always done a good job like that.

I'm also so stoked because this is released on my exact birthday!

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

Will this be horror based? Friday the 13th release date

 

[Smilodon]

The casting guys for Logan found Dafne from somewhere. They should be enough young first time acting talents waiting to be discovered from around the world.

Speaking of Amara, I know her from Xmen Evolution show. I was surprised to discover that she is a white girl with blond hair in the comics.I wonder which route they will take, if she shows up in a future film.

They still cast a white European actress for a latina character though. She was instantly the character to Mangold the way Angelina Jolie and Ben Foster were in respective auditions for Mangold, but it's not like they were totally accurate to Mangold's initial intent.

I will remain hopeful of a more accurate looking Bobby being cast considering the controversy around him in the comics.

Boone's a big King fan so I'm sure it'll deliver on the horror aspect, especially if the concept art is anything to go by. ATJ's big project may have been hinting at her BBC miniseries, but I hope it's for New Mutants. Dafne, Zazie, Anya in the X-verse - wow!

How does it increase the budget?

you know what will increase the budget? probably CGI dragons and bears.

 

[Inhuman117]

i hope we get soon a new Artwork who Confirms the Final Roster of Characters

Trying to make everything look like John Hughes era 1985 and **** maybe.

That isn't difficult at all

They've been playing New Mutants and Dark Phoenix pretty close to the chest.

I do suspect it might be because they pretty much let folks know everything about X-Men: Apocalypse upfront, and then that movie disappointed both critically and commercially. They appear to be taking a different tact this time. Hopefully, this will also include making a better pair of movies too.

 

[GuestStar2004]

To be fair did we know X23 was gonna be in logan before they started filming? i think we found out a long time later so this whole secrecy is very much a fox thing.

At that point, it's just wardrobe, cars, and appliances. If you're finicky enough, maybe even go for 80s-90s cinematography.
