Sequels The New Mutants - Josh Boone to Direct

[marvelrobbins]

I think deadpool sequel will be more about setting up X-force than having more X-Men show up especilly if domino is with cable in it.

difference for this film is it will have students get into trouble on their own and have more
magicil elements in it.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

I hope Jean and Rahne share the screen at some point, if it's real.

Me too. Those two have great chemistry together.

huge news from hitfix

maisie williams cast as wolfbane, anya taylor joy as magik

More Game of Thrones in Marvel.
But this part is weird

It looks like they’ll also be casting Cannonball, Sunspot, and Mirage, so they really are going for the most traditional version of the team, the first line-up, and that makes me extremely happy. You can expect James McAvoy to play a significant role in the film, which makes sense, and Alexandra Shipp, who plays Storm in this summer’s X-Men: Apocalypse, will make the jump to this team as well.

Why would storm be on this team? I'm actually surprised this takes place during the 80s again.

 

[marieylee]

If its true, spot on casting, but I hope Storm's role isn't too big. It would be nice to have someone the audiences know, but should focus on the core NM characters.

 

[Mad Ones]

Storm was pretty important to Magik's story in Limbo, in a way I can't see them adapting in a million years.

Getting Illyana in these films is a huge win, I'll say that. Dani too. Two of my faves.

 

[def28]

If they actually pull from those Storm and Illyana books I'll give them alot of credit. I'm just worried that Storm won't be on the main team now. If this takes place in the same time with the same teacher there has to be some sort of different divisions right? Are we sure this series isn't replacing the main series ala First Class?

I am stoked that Cannonball will be here, instead of X-Force. Good roster overall.

 

[Logan0327]

If this is true then, Fox might screw this up. I dont want New Mutants in Apocalypse timeline. If this is true, NTW having New Mutants outfit in present timeline doesnt make sense. Almost everything tied to Deadpool doesnt make sense. Not even Colossus.

who cares about continuity just enjoy the movies

never understand why you guys gets so uptight bout continuity when the comics cant even do it lol

 

[def28]

It's difficult for fans to map things out. So it's a headache to discuss. It doesn't matter in the quality individually but this is supposed to be a shared universe, do you expect fans to be excited about things not connecting well? Or if characters are having relationships dropped and can't interact with others?

Sunspot is likely to be added to the retcon list. The list kinda keeps going, even with characters who where in a film less then two years ago. Casting with the future in mind would not exactly be a bad idea.

 

[Mad Ones]

I'm more in the camp that cares about these films individually. The only continuity I really care about is the consistency of the main character arcs, not so much about smaller details like cameo characters. Sunspot is a good example. I was fine with him in DOFP and am even more fine with him being in a New Mutants movie. I really don't care about the continuity fub Sunspot could create if New Mutants is as good as DOFP

The fans that still cling to the continuity errors like Psylocke being in X3 and Apocalypse bewilder me. I feel like some honestly think X3 Psylocke should exclude her from being used again. I get that fans want more careful planning so we avoid situations like Psylocke, but the looser rules have produced great movies.

I'm not sure. I think Singer still wants to oversee the main X-movies and use Proteus in them.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

I never read the New Mutants unless it was a crossover probably that I don't remember.

If it's set around the culture inside the X-Mansion then I think they should also borrow from Morrison's X-men run where they talked a lot about the mutant culture.

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

I kept telling you it wasnt gonna be in the present. This board thinks it's so smart sometimes

Completely disagree with that. They have not gained anything with poor casting or not having the intention of actually using characters. Sooner or later it bites them in the ass. If you can't portray a character correctly then leave them alone, or cast them because of their talent maybe. Too many X-Men films being made right now. They can't keep that mindset up.

Just makes the franchise as a whole seem like it lacks vision.

 

[CaptainCanada]

DOFP rebooted everything. It's really something you just have to run with; clearly the people making the films are.

FC and DOFP played pretty loose with continuity and were great films. But yes I know I'm in the minority amongst the fan community.

 

[kevork89]

Hey even in the alternate Rogue edit of DoFP the new mutants there didn't want Wolverine to go back in time in case it changed them completely. They might not even be born, possibly born at a different time. I guess that's what they're going with.

Doesn't bother me too much.

They didn't gain anything from the choices we are discussing. Yes they can still be great films, but I wouldn't applaud them on areas they can improve on.

 

[Mad Ones]

They didn't gain anything from the choices we are discussing.

Well I'm happy that they weren't tied to the idea of Xavier and Magneto meeting when they were 17, for example.

 

[Frankeh]

The fans that still cling to the continuity errors like Psylocke being in X3 and Apocalypse bewilder me. I feel like some honestly think X3 Psylocke should exclude her from being used again.

I agree on this particular one. I prefer to see her than not to see her ever because of a minuscule appearance in that.

 

[def28]

That didn't bother me at all. For awhile we didn't even know how connected FC was. But things like how is Prof X even alive in DOFP, messes with my friends. At the end of Wolverine he's all shocked and then nothing is really answered. Maybe you don't care but it's ignoring something that was allegedly a big deal to Logan last we saw him. Same with the adamantium.

For me my major gripe is the intent to cast characters as nothing more then VFX without concern for the future. Or just wasting them.

If they want a shared universe they can't continue to make moves like that and expect fans to be happy for when things don't make sense. Fans want this franchise to be better then that cause they care about it. As annoying as all those conversations may be.

I don't want mistakes like Deadpool, Psylocke and Emma Frost again. Or major characters like Colossus being mute.

 

[marvelrobbins]

DOFP rebooted everything. It's really something you just have to run with; clearly the people making the films are.

Singer and kinberg on audio commantary of DOFP basicly said they erased other films with time travel.kinberg has said now they can have characters born earlier.

they are doing delcate dance.they still want to act like they are still connected to earlier films and singer acts like apocalypse still has prequel elements but at same time they are doing things differently.my advice is only first class and
1973 parts of DOFP matter going into apocalypse.new mutants is likely goign to be out first post apocalypse look at X-Men with the other spin-offs in present or near future.

 

[Ryan1210]

OMG the film is setting in 80s, that's why there's a guy named Sam in X-Men: Apocalypse. It's all connected

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

This is so so exciting. I didn't want Maisie as Wolfsbane wanted her as an actual X-Man but this might work better she doesn't have to do American accent now.

 

[Frankeh]

I totally get the problem that is separating Magik from Colossus.

But at the same time, if they had set this in the present, there's no connection to main X-Men movies...

I don't disagree with a lot here. They just need to make good movies. Period. There's definitely a reason why Origins and X3 are the root of a lot continuity complaints. I forgive things like not explaining Xavier because its simply better to be able to use Xavier again, without convoluted exposition explaining away the mistakes of a movie made years ago. Still though, I don't mind using characters as visual effects - the X-men need to create a world where there are lots of mutants, so they show us lots of different visual effects. Its fun for fans if we can link a cameo to a character, but I don't think the movies need to be held to that cameo.

Anyway, about New Mutants - I'm super stoked. The original series is super bizarre. Cant' wait to see what gets translated on screen.

Yes, that's the frustrating part. The Magik and Colossus relationship is a great read.

Also depending on the success of this franchise, being away from present characters might not be a great thing and vice versa. People didn't want Psylocke and Angel in the past cause they could have a chance for X-Force where they could be developed more.

Can they use others? Sure. But those are two big hitters who may not be seeing a long life post Apocalypse. And sooner rather then later someone is gonna pick up UXF, and go I want that film. Do we really need another Warren Worthington? At some point it gets redundant.
