If the director ofTheNew Mutantshas his fashion , next year ’s flick will only be the beginning . Chatter was quiet during the shoot ofTheNew Mutants , but the expiration ofthe first teaser trailerhas finally opened the floodgates as we head towards its spring release . Deadpool 2andX - adult male : Dark Phoenixwill arrive afterwards next twelvemonth , but first get the X - Men series ' first horror offering .
generally accommodate Bill Sienkiewicz run on theNew Mutantscomic in the ' eighty , the film will see Magik , Wolfsbane , Sunspot , Mirage , and Cannonball adhere in a adroitness as they assay and empathise their burgeoning mutant power . Naturally , mutants should always be wary of such institutions , but this one will have the added twist of something dangerous and ostensibly supernatural lurking around every corner . And , while it will haveconnections to the otherX - Menfilms , the moving picture will very much mesh in its own space . A infinite , it seems , that could inflate .
IGNspoke withTheNew Mutantsdirector Josh Boone about where he sees the movie expire . Boone say he monger the undertaking as the jump of a trilogy , with each film exploring different of the revulsion subgenres :
" We brought it to FOX as a trilogy of films , really all based on that long run by Sienkiewicz , and kind of incorporate some stuff from later outcome in the ' fourscore . These are all going to be horror movies , and they ’re all be their own discrete variety of horror movies . This is certainly the ‘ rubber - reality ’ supernatural repugnance pic . The next one will be a entirely different variety of repulsion movie . Our take was just go test the repulsion genre through comic Holy Writ movies and make each one its own distinct sort of horror celluloid . thread from the openhanded events that we make out in the comics . "
Applying unlike genres to superhero films is nothing new , but horror is n’t an element that ’s really been explored before . While theBladetrilogy certainly traffic in aspects of the supernatural , it leaned more towards the action ending of the spectrum rather than the shuddery and psychological . As such , even ifTheNew Mutantsisn’t a success it will be an engrossing experiment .
Interestingly , a number of director from the horror genre have jumped to superhero moving-picture show making . James Gunn ( Guardians of the Galaxy ) , David F.Sandberg(Shazam ! ) , and James Wan ( Aquaman ) all made names for themselves in the genre before signing on to decidedly non - horror movies . However , it will be the director ofThe Fault in Our Starswho finally makes it happen withTheNew Mutants .
What genres he has in mind for the hereafter , Boone did n’t say , although givenTheNew Mutantsis clearly supernatural - the try - and - rightful modern formula of ' rubber realness ' will heavily be used in the new movie ( best displayed in the ' face and hands pushing through a wall ' trope ) - a slasher subsequence definitely seems likely .
