Bosco685 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Hopefully with Marvel keeping The New Mutants going in comic book format this keeps the film going within Disney. ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Quote Fox’s The New Mutants has seen its release delayed multiple times over, but don't expect Disney to simply dump it on Disney+. When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox for a staggering $71 billion, they got their hands on an enviable back-catalog of work that included some of the most well-known films and pop culture properties of the past hundred years. However, another thing they inherited was the responsibility to fund the distribution and marketing of various films that had already completed shooting by the time they signed the Fox deal, which includes Marvel movie The New Mutants. The New Mutants began life in 2015 when Josh Boone, director of The Fault in Our Stars, and writer Knate Lee pitched a potential X-Men trilogy to Simon Kinberg, the franchise's producer, using the New Mutants ensemble created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod. A year later, casting rumors started swirling and soon, some of the brightest up-and-coming actors signed onto the movie, including Anya Taylor-Joy from The Witch, Stranger Things star Charlie Heaton, and Arya Stark herself, Maisie Williams. Filming took place in Boston from July to September 2017 with an April 13, 2018 release set. However, the film was then delayed to February 22, 2019, then moved back once more to August 2, 2019. This was intended to give Boone and his team some time to complete needed reshoots, but it was revealed in March 2019 that the reshoots had still not taken place. That was when rumors started that Disney could possibly pull the film from their theatrical release calendar and put it on Disney+. However, at CinemaCon 2019, Disney confirmed the film would keep its theatrical release, which was then pushed back once again to April 2020. Given that the first trailer for the film was released in October 2017, The New Mutants has been a long time coming, but will its release now be on Disney+ instead of in cinemas? With several Fox movies bombing, including another X-Men flick, Dark Phoenix, it's easy to see the appeal, but it's still unlikely to happen. It doesn't seem all that shocking to imagine Disney removing The New Mutants from their very busy slate and premiering it as a Disney+ exclusive. Given the borderline ridiculous number of delays New Mutants has faced plus the drama over reshoots, the general message conveyed about its overall quality is not good. Dark Phoenix faced a similar problem but at least that movie was part of an established franchise and had some serious star power behind it, two things The New Mutants sorely lacks. Delay after delay, from both Fox and Disney, does not suggest a massive amount of confidence in the film's ability to make its money back at the box office, and those fears will only be exacerbated following the financial disaster of Dark Phoenix, which is being blamed for Disney's $170 million financial loss this year.

Hollywood1892 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I think if they go with a movie than Legion would be a good character to go with. A hero with a condition (schizophrenia) much like the show "Good Doctor". Nevertheless they have the show,so I doubt a major involvement from him, albeit Flash has a show and they have introduced him well to the big screen. 1950's war comics and Bosco685 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperheart Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 this looks like it could be huge, "stock" is predicting $25MM US BO (that's not day 1 or first weekend, that's total) https://www.hsx.com/security/view/NMUTN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalPSI Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Legion leading into a Age of Apocalypse would be awesome to see. However, seeing how Sony has totally screwed up the X verse, well it's going to take a complete reboot, with new movies to carry any weight.

Probably post more details about how Sony destroyed the X-Men films? I think you missed out. As with Days of Future Past that was very entertaining and extremely well done. As was X-Men (2000) and X2. And with The Wolverine, even with that Act 3 mixed story this honored much of the Limited Series while taking us through Logan's WW II backstory. You don't have to like them. There are those that did/do appreciate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for letting me know your opinion on my opinion, but said opinion isn't going to change. Sorry I misunderstood Sony's take on the X verse, I was mixed up with Spiderman.

Like I noted, you don't have to like the films. Many do. Though of course by Fox executives ignoring Feige's early proposal to build out a joined universe prior to the MCU's launch with a huge missed opportunity. Even the executive producer of the franchise called this out last year as one of her regrets. Meanwhile, there are more than a few of these films that really connected with people. So enjoy!
