Sequels The New Mutants - Josh Boone to Direct

[Sullstar]

He should! He's the most popular male character of the original line-up and has appeared in cartoons/videogames. He's even more popular than Mirage, Sunspot, Karma, Magik, Wolfsbane, Cypher, Warlock and Magma.

Then Sunspot, I don't know if they would use him again unless they retcon Adan Canto's appearance in DOFP, his name wasn't even brought up in the film. And I don't see Adan Canto as a teenager. I wouldn't mind if they retcon him or recast him so Sunspot could appear in The New Mutants.

The character name isn't mentioned but at the start when Sentinel's come, Bishop says "Sunspot" and uses him to charge his gun.

If they use Sunspot, they definitely won't use Magma and vice versa. You could even put Cannonball in that mold

Again it's just an idea, it wouldn't really impact a movie in any way

You dumb Apocalypse down by having a bunch of novice teens take him on and win, which is totally possible. You are right in that the writers can write whatever they want regardless of if it's appropriate for the characters or not. That Toad vs Storm, Cyclops and Jean from X1 you presented is a good example of that

Oh Lawd.

Oh how I did I forget that!

Though I'm really open to the idea of retconning Sunspot so he could appear in this film and have more presence in the film serie.

Thought having said that, I think it would be cool for Fox if they managed to release a film for The New Mutants, X-Force and X-Factor in the next 5 years. Thats like the top 3 splinter X-Men teams out there.

Oh my God… I would be on Cloud 9 if that happened! Can you imagine X-Men, New Mutants, X-Force, X-Factor, Gambit, and Deadpool all having franchises running at once?!

I find it very interesting that all this expansion is finally happening after Hugh Jackman announces his (supposed) final X-film. If these spin-offs do take place in the present, then I think Wolverine's absence will need to be explained. Perhaps it will be in W3. Or I suppose the new teams could just be located somewhere other than the X-mansion. In any case, I am SO stoked right now!!!

so you would rather have the idea of experience to help you sleep at night, because thats all it would be

experience is just an idea that doesn't work without the right execution and even then with the right execution the beginners can be portrayed alot better then you have had in any of the previous X-Men movies

but if you are more offended that teens could beat him... well powers are powers

I sleep perfectly fine. My rest hasnt been restless since the film was announced

I don't know about franchises, but I think FOX is capable of at least making 1 film especially if they aren't adapting other comic-book into film besides their Marvel licensed characters.

I also hope they will not adapt X-Factor in TV format but in a live-action film. I prefer all of them to be in film.

Or Hugh Jackman would just take a time-off for like 5 years... and when the time comes that he's ready to retur, I imagine there would be a lot of hype especially if he's finally appearing with these spin-off characters.

 

[Sullstar]

Judging by that tweet and the EW article this seems similar to the Wadlow X-Force situation where the director pitched the idea to the studio rather than the studio looking for a director. Great to see such a big fan at the helm.

The EW article even said he even pitched a new 'New Mutants' comic book haha.

Apocalypse and the scope of his vision is kind of big for these new kids and this will be their first mission as a team. A lesser villain would have been suited for them

When Cyclops Jean Iceman Beast Angel first encounter Apocalypse and The Four Horsemen they are early 20's in the Comic Book

Actually mid 20s, but whats your point?

whoa. two questions: how much is that worth and where is it purchased ?


Also, any ideas for casting ?

 

[psylockolussus]

Maybe 2,000 thousand dollars, his copies are Tradepaperbacks and hardcovers which are more expensive than a handful of comics.

I think you can purchase them at Marvel.com and Amazon or any trusted comic-book seller website.

 

[Smilodon]

I kinda hope Kinberg, LSD or Emma or Boone himself show up to SDCC and discuss the project to some degree. Not divulge plot or anything but just let us know when it's coming, since Boone looks to have a full plate of projects he's working on right now.

...and for me, the only convenient way to collect at the moment.

That pic's awesome...

That it doesn't matter what their age is. And obviously FOX feels the same

theres a big difference between mid 20s and a decade worth of being a hero and dealing with tons of threats then being a teenager and going on your first major mission. X-factor being mid 20s is kind of irrelevant to what I had stated on this

There has been ten years since DoFP we have no idea what happened

 

[Mad Ones]

I'm hyped

I love that picture.

My current movie roster of today. Who knows if this will get a sequel so go all out.

Cannonball (Co-Leader)
Mirage (Co-Leader)
Magma (Sunspot Replacement Brazilian no Nova Roma)
Karma
Magik (Hint origin save for sequel)
Wolfsbane (Scottish Please)
Cypher (Race Swap Latino)

I think that's a strong 7 man team. Maybe need to swap one of the girls for another guy.
