New Mutants Movie Final Cut Is Done & Director Is Happy With It

Costar Anya Taylor-Joy says the final cut of New Mutants has been finished and writer-director Josh Boone is happy with the X-Men movie spinoff.

Anya Taylor-Joy says The New Mutants‘ final cut is done and director Josh Boone is happy with how the X-Men movie spinoff turned out. After more than two years of delays (though it feels even longer), Fox’s final X-Men film will finally open in theaters this spring. Co-written by Boone and Knate Lee, The New Mutants comic book movie revolves around a group of five troubled mutants who find themselves trapped in a secret facility against their will. Taylor-Joy costars as Magik opposite Maisie Williams as Wolfsbane, Charlie Heaton as Cannonball, Blu Hunt as Mirage, and Henry Zaga as Sunspot. Originally scheduled to open in Spring 2018, The New Mutants was delayed by Fox to allow for reshoots that were – reportedly – meant to bring the film closer to Boone’s Nightmare on Elm Street-inspired horror vision. However, Disney’s subsequent purchase of Fox’s movie and TV IPs led to New Mutants being pushed further and further back until its reshoots were cancelled and it landed on an April 2020 date instead. But at the end of the day, it appears Boone and his cast have made their peace with the way things worked out.
