Sequels The New Mutants - Josh Boone to Direct

[Mad Ones]

Cannonball and Sunspot's friendship has a lot of charm to it, but I do like your suggestion of combining Magma and Sunspot like that. I'm not sure about Cypher's chance to be in the movie. I like him, especially when his powers are applied to coding and body language, but he doesn't have a visual power.

 

[x-er]

but it's still a great gift. like mind-reading.

I've gotta say though, I'm still very surprised.

He doesnt need a visual power. The fact that he doesnt helps them save money on SFX. I think on his own, he's probably not all that interestng but like Sam and Bobby, his friendship with Warlock has alot of charm. As you mention, powers have since evolved anyway so that he is able to "read" body language and become a skilled fighter and excels at countering most attacks. I think for film, they could reinterpret his powers differently so that he could be a technopath, so that he can not only read and understand computer software but have some level of control over it. That could be useful in many situations

 

[chamber-music]

Cypher has been turned into a bad ass fighter since coming back from the dead and learning he can read opponents body language. I think you could choreograph some cool fight scenes with his character.

I have a very strong suspicion that this film will be set after Wolverine wakes up in 2023 at the end of DoFP, which opens up the potential for re-using some of the new characters that Singer brought in for that movie.

BTW, the reason I say this is that I don't see the franchise 'retreading' the timeline ground wherein the first 3 movies and The Wolverine happened in the original timeline/universe, at least as far as team-based movies are concerned.

 

[Picard Stewart]

I think this will either be Fox's fall/winter 2017 film or their spring 2018 film.

Sam, a kentuckian boy.
Dani, a cheyenne girl.
Karma, a lesbian vietnamese girl.
Illyana, a russian girl.
Sunspot, a brazilian boy.
Wolfsbane, a scot girl.

God, I hope they stay true to that.

And if the movie is set in the past, maybe they'll do this?

It would be a different and interesting side of Eric to explore. And Fox could use the star power of Fassbender to help the movie, idk.

It would seem like such a missed opportunity if Blink & Warpath weren't part of the team.

Blink was such an audience favorite in DOFP & Warpath would be a great addition (especially bringing a Native American heritage perspective to the group, should Moonstar be omitted for whatever reason)

You had me at Brazilian boy ! (Recast ?)

 

[Lip]

You had me at Brazilian boy ! (Recast ?)

Are you brazilian?

Anyway, there are ways to put Sunspot in the movie. He wasn't in the end of DoFP, so he could be born earlier just like Angel (in case the movie is set in the past). Or they could just have a younger version of him. Either way, they'd have to recast. Canto is too old.

I think Sunspot will be in the movie.

 

[Sullstar]

I think they could have Blink and Sunspot as teachers since their ages. Instead of recasting they could even just use Magma or Chamber (his psionic energy looks like fire).

 

[DigificWriter]

They've already changed when certain characters are/were born in the new timeline/universe relative to when they were born in the original timeline/universe for X-Men Apocalypse, so it wouldn't be a stretch to do so for this movie too.

IOW, you could easily recast Sunspot, Blink, etc. younger and say that they were born earlier than in the original timeline/universe.

 

[Smilodon]

Booboo is still 21. He could easily pass as a younger version (if he's not in X-force)

Fan and Adan are 33, but neither of them look that age. Adan could pass as younger though. Not Fan though, as lovely as she is.

 

[DigificWriter]

^ I've got to disagree that Fan can't pass for younger than 33. She currently looks like she could easily play somebody in their late teens/early 20s, and isn't likely to look all that much older a year from now since she's Asian.

There's nothing that says they absolutely have to bring back the actors from DoFP for Blink, Sunspot, etc., though, so I think you could easily use those characters in this kind of a movie with or without the original actors returning.

I also think you could easily re-use Bishop (either with the same actor or by recasting the role) as a mentor.

Here is the thing inless they say something to counter the assumination is any character not In mansion at end of DOFP Is fair game.

Sunspot can easily be same age as other students In New mutants.Granted new mutants may be set in present/near future so not quite as jaring as say having a jubilee the same age as cyclops,jean,and storm In Apocalypse.Although War Path wasn't really part of new mutants he was brought in when they were transitting into X-Force he too could be a student here.

 

[chamber-music]

The future scenes in Days Of Future Past took place in 2023. I don't think New Mutants will be set then so any of the mutants from that time line could be younger.

It's not just Jubilee whose birth year they've completely rewritten for Apocalypse, though; you've also got Psylocke, Angel, and Nightcrawler, all of whom will have been born at least a decade or two earlier in the new timeline/universe than they were in the original timeline/universe, which pretty much 'opens the floodgates' as far as re-using characters we've previously seen is concerned.

I do.

 

[Mad Ones]

I'd just recast Sunspot with a younger actor and change his visual effects.

 

[DigificWriter]

Why would they change the character's visual effects?

 

[x-er]

because of magma and because of the original comic effects

 

[Mad Ones]

Why would they change the character's visual effects?

I just prefer how his powers look in the comics. They're more unique and very cool.

 

[DigificWriter]

I doubt they'd completely 'reinvent the wheel' as far as the 'look' of his powers is concerned if they were to bring Sunspot back.

 

[Mad Ones]

They'd be transforming him from the generic special effect he was in DOFP into a real character in New Mutants. Might as well make his powers look unique and memorable.

 

[SuperT]

Truthfully, I hope they don't even bother bringing back Sunspot, Blink or Warpath. Other than Sunspot, none of them were members of the original 80's/90's run this is being based off, not to mention none of those actors can pass for teenagers.

Just give us Mirage, Cannonball, Magik, Wolfsbane, Karma, Magma and Warlock.

 

[Sithborg]

If they are leaning toward a story with Magik, I don't think they would use Blink.
