Sequels The New Mutants - Josh Boone to Direct

[marvelrobbins]

I'm thinking it will be in the present. Xmen90s will still have the new team. It would seem weird to have a secondary X-team that early.

As for the size of the school, I'm really advocating for expanding the idea the Morrison brought into his run about mutant culture and aesthetics being explored with the New Mutants.

It will be in the past.Mcavoy and Shipp are probally in this film since every other detail of report is turning out to be true.

It's looking increasingly likely that New Mutants is the movie that Kinberg was talking about when he said "the next one will be set in the '90s", and that isn't something that seems likely to change regardless of what ultimately happens with X:A.

i think it could still be in the 80s, i don't think saying it has to be new mutants because kinberg said the next X-Men movie is in the 90s because new mutants isn't X-Men and if we say its technically counts then does wolverine 3 count too? because thats the next X-Men related movie

if new mutants was set in the 90s then that would ask the question when is the next X-Men team movie set? 80s? 90s? unless the plan is for new mutants to move forward next to the X-Men then why set it in the 90s?

 

[DigificWriter]

Kinberg had already revealed Wolverine 3's setting when he made the comments about the next X-movie being set in the '90s, so that argument doesn't fly.

And even if he used the term "next X-Men movie", it doesn't mean he was automatically talking about the next movie featuring the team called the X-Men, since every single film that has been released in the franchise thus far could be accurately described as an "X-Men film" regardless of whether or not it actually features that eponymous team (including the Wolverine films and Deadpool).

New Mutants are X-men. It falls under the X-men franchise and it counts. I defininitely thought thats what he meant and if its the case, then its for the best

Why set it in the 90s? Why not? It makes alot more sense in the 90s. The entire premise behind them was that they were the new generation of mutant students as the X-men were older and moved on beyond the school and teen dynamic. I dont see the point in having a movie about teen X-men in the 80s and then introduce another set of teens in the same time period. Ideally NM would be present day, but 90s works.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Thing is where would the X-Men team movies fit? 80s still? in which case why would they set new mutants in the 90s? or does that mean they will set the next X-Men team movie it in the 90s? ok so what about after that? they gonna continue in the 90s or jump another decade and is a new mutants sequel gonna go with them?

The most logical bet i can see is that he was talking about an X-Men original team movie, whether new mutants is still in the 90s or not who knows but the idea that new mutants is gonna get to the 90s before an X-Men team movie i find abit doubtful but we will see.

Set it where its at; in the 80s. Whether it is or not, NM needs to chronologically come after it. They shouldnt have X-men in the 90s but NM in the 80s. If they did that, the big question would be, why arent any of the NM on the X-men squad? That is taken care of if NM dont become students until later in the timeline.

it does seem like they would be keeping X-Men and new mutants within a close space so you probably don't wanna go back and forth having the characters be older and then younger again like that especially if they wanna do new mutants sequels simultaneously with X-Men team movies

Because they are a different team? no one really says they have to be x-men in the training, not everyone at that school is X-Men material or wow there would be loads of them ;p

i mean doesn't look like jubilee got her chance in X-Men: Apocalypse

 

[DigificWriter]

There's absolutely no reason that the X-Men and New Mutants can't exist simultaneously with one another, especially since, if you set NM in the '90s, the X-Men team itself would be comprised of adults just as was the case when the NM comic was launched.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Well if you set the next X-Men team movie in the 80s and NM is in the 90s then you can't go back and forth like that for the same reason you can't go back and forth with same characters in present day, you are constantly reminding the audience that what they see a decade or decades early doesn't matter because look the characters seem over it already.

Now obviously if X-Men team movies go to the 90s next then either way kinberg probably was talking about X-Men original team movies anyway.

I don't think its worth having expectations that the X-Men will be the adults or will need to be adults and new mutants will be the kids because the comics are one thing but these films are not the comics and if we haven't realised that by now then when?

if they set new mutants in 1987 for example then the X-Men would still be older then possibly what the aim is for new mutants.

but the NMs ARE X-men material. If and when they adapt them to film, they are going to use the popular characters that become X-men, not 3rd string characters that would never stand a chance in battle

they are likely making new mutants to be its own series though, its probably not a one off movie before they join the X-Men so you probably can expect 3 movies but then you have to find a way to spread it over 3 movies.

they are likely gonna be their own team.

I get that but my response was to your line about them not being X-men material. We already have an idea of who the cast will be. And i dont expect them to be X-men in their films. That defeats the purpose of doing New Mutants. Eventually though when they get older, the expectation is for them to transition into being X-men which is why it probably shouldnt pre-date the X-men's next outing

Well its probably a bad idea for new mutants to not be going at a close pace with the X-Men for obvious reasons of investment in the X-Men main team characters, its like phoenix is coming!, decade later its cool its sorted, back a decade phoenix is still coming!

Its probably not a great idea.

 

[Havok83]

which is why Ive said they should just let X-men be its own thing in the past and make NM present day with adult X-men showing up as mentors. We already got a glimpse of that in Deadpool and it would be cool to see that expanded upon in their own feature film

that may not be the direction they wanna go though, it may just be a separate group of mutants dealing with their own issues in the X-Men universe with cross over potential between characters.

the X-Men can still be the older or more experienced group of characters either way, it shouldn't be a open to anyone club really otherwise whats stopping every mutant at the mansion becoming an X-Man?

 

[#root]

I'm really excited for this, but I think it should be set in the present. The next X-Men movie will probably be set in the 90's so setting this in modern times will at least set it apart. Both movies being in the 90's will just be redundant.

I cant see the Apocalypse kids serving as mentors to the NM. They're all relatively young themselves and would likely look the same age unless they cast significantly younger, which they cant really do. The dynamic Im looking for really works if you have a veteran who's like 15+ years being a mentor. I really dont want any of the X-men in the NM film if its set in the past although theres that rumor about AS as Storm, which Im preparing for

Well not really it gives cross over potential between series and stories pretty much like the MCU are doing, setting it in present actually would put push new mutants in its own direction with probably limited X-Men involvement because of the whole timeline stuff, while if you set it in the past... you can do both and you could also still use those character in the present although possibly in a recast form at some point if it happened like that.

Definitely! But this series has made a lot of bad choices in the past, so if they want to set in the past, good luck to them.

This has to be the most bumpy film series ever released for its sheer amount of missed opportunities and bad timing. I'm gonna make a list for fun/theropy:

X-Men: Establishes the series for a great sequel, seemingly kills off Sabertooth and squanders all potential story-lines.

X2: Pretty much perfectly builds on the story and plants seeds for another great sequel.

The Last Stand: Kills off several important characters, "cures" others, forgets about Nightcrawler comepletely, and squanders the Phoenix and Gifted stories. It does however introduce some interesting characters and leaves a number of teasing questions to resolved in future installments (Neither of these amount to anything).

XO: Wolverine: Soullessly retreads Logan's origin and adds nothing of substance to the character. Plants seeds for a sequel in Japan as well as potential Deadpool, Gambit and First Class spin-offs.

First Class: Bears no resemblance to the First Class teased in the preceding film. Effectively ditches TLS and XOW, contradicting them in several places and damaging continuity. Sets up a great new cast for sequels.

The Wolverine: Another film teased in XOW that largely shuns XOW. Instead of being direct sequel, it takes place in the present day. Unlike First Class however, this film embraces TLS, builds on it, and even goes some way to redeem it. The film ends with a suggested Logan/Yukio sequel and a deleted scene teases the classic costumeid-credit sequence. Mid-credit sequence skips right over that and instead sets up the next movie.

Days Of Future Past: Makes for a compelling sequel to both TLS and First Class. While the present day timeline is effecively restored, a good number of the First Class characters are viciously axed, leaving this timeline a little worse off. Writes a lot of previous films off, most notably The Wolverine as it was only a year old at the time. It perfectly sets up potential OT or FC sequels, and hints at a Logan and Mystique story.

etc etc

Funny that all the films teased in Origins will likely come to pass, but all will disassociate themselves from it.

McAvoy is Xavier going forward. Whatever use Wolverine 3 has for Stewart is probably his last.

The age problem is going to come up even if you have NM in the 90s or present. McAvoy isn't old. None of the cast looks the right age for the time jumps.

They should just recast Beast and put him as the mentor in full Beast form in the 2000s with the New Mutants and Xavier.

 

[Lobo]

Did the New Mutants ever travel to the Savage Land? Secondly, is that something you'd want to see? I kind of like the idea of Beast as the headmaster. I know it was mostly Magneto in the books right?

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

Savage Land is with Marvel Unfortunately even though it debuted in X-Men #10.

I'd like to see the travel to Nova Roma or Limbo in a sequel.
