Sequels The New Mutants - Josh Boone to Direct

[Mike Murdock]

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.

To be honest, I don't think McAvoy is a problem when it comes to the age of the characters. Especially with a shaved head, I think people can accept him. The new young cast strikes me as a bigger issue. That's not a problem for New Mutants, but it would be a problem.

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?

You know, I don't recall them ever going to the Savage Land. Maybe during Evolutionary War, but I think they went to Wundagore Mountain.

Magneto is the headmaster I associate with the New Mutants, but there are basically three eras: Originally, it was Professor Xavier, who was headmaster for a decent chunk of the book (probably for among the best stories there). Then there was Magneto and the book got a bit darker (it was a welcome change of pace). Then, as Magneto reverted back to the comforts of villainy, there's a period where they were essentially acting on their own before being led by Cable. I'd have no problem with Beast being in charge. I think it would make for an interesting dynamic. My suggestion was Colossus to tie it to the X-Mansion we saw in Deadpool, but your's is a good suggestion too.

People accept it bc they have too. He looks too young for the role even with a bald head. He looks like he's early to mid 30s in Apocalypse, not the 50 he should be. I cant imagine him pulling off a 60 something Xavier

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.

my god this series is a hot ass mess, yet they continue pushing forward

 

[psylockolussus]

This series is a fighter!

Josh Boone liked my tweet but then he unliked it I think. LoL

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

Shipp said she wants to be in New Mutant's

 

[marvelrobbins]

which is another sign the report was indeed right.

 

[Sithborg]

Just like Fan Bingbing saying she was signed to do Apocalypse?

I wouldn't say that the Wolverine largely shunned Origins. The movie acknowledged both Wolverine's service in World War 2 and his relationship with Kayla (her voice can be heard after Wolverine is immobilized by ninjas).

 

[GuestStar2004]

Just like Fan Bingbing saying she was signed to do Apocalypse?

Think it was more a misunderstanding with bing bing

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

This guy

 

[psylockolussus]

Eh, just focus on the "New" Mutants.... don't tell me that they are having Magneto/Mystique in another X-Men movie... so they would have to shove Storm in a New Mutants movie in order to develop her.

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

It's pretty obvious what's happening with Storm IMO. Ill say it again but she's taking Stevie Hunter's place aka the young hip cooler slightly older big sis role. A middle ground between The New Mutant's & Xavier/Moira

Storm has a strong relationship with Magik & Moonstar this makes too much sense imo

 

[henzINNIT]

I liked what we saw of Shipp, but after Apocalypse I'm more done with the past than ever. Meh, we'll see.

 

[Silvermoth]

So can anyone confirm if it's definitely a tv series yet or nah? I hope it's a tv series

 

[GuestStar2004]

its a movie

 

[Inhuman117]

Legion and Hellfire are the 2 TV Series right now in Development

 

[Sithborg]

Legion, yes. Hellfire is on hold.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Was Hellfire supposed to be airing on network?

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

FoX

 

[psylockolussus]

IMO, they just need to focus on making great movies! I'd watch Legion if it gets great reviews (in a weekly basis) but if not, maybe I'd binge watch but I'm not sure if I would. Like I just didn't that X-Men: Legacy was all him, not surprised that it only lasted for like twenty-four issues.

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

ILike I just didn't that X-Men: Legacy was all him, not surprised that it only lasted for like twenty-four issues.

No X-Solo last long besides Wolverine Cable Deadpool that's not a valid point

one of the best X-Men stories in recent years!
it maybe lasted not very long but it told a very beautiful story!

No Marvel series.

James dropping an interesting tidbit about how he doesn't know his involvement in New Mutants, but apparently an actress who signed on does and told him. So major casting might be in the bag as McWeeny suggested.

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

So basically Alexandra Shipp is who he's talking about.
