The X-Men film New Mutants has been a topic of conversation for a while. One of the last remnants of the Fox Marvel universe, New Mutants had been pushed back from its original date and many speculated it may not come out at all. It will, this April; without the reshoots, it was originally supposed to undergo.
What happened to those reshoots? Director Josh Boone explains how not only were there no reshoots, but that reshoots would have been difficult due to the cast being older than when they originally filmed in 2017:
“Everybody said we did reshoots! We’ve never done reshoots. And I’ll tell you this: if there hadn’t been a merger, I’m sure we would’ve done reshoots the same way every movie does pickups. We didn’t even do that because by the time the merger was done and everything was settled, everybody’s older.”
Actress Maisie Williams also weighed in on the reshoots subject:
“The movie is exactly the movie we set out to make. I was nervous when they were talking about reshooting or re-editing that it was gonna be very different, but honestly, it’s exactly what we set out to do.”
New Mutants is supposed to hit theaters April 3rd of this year. Despite everything people had to say about the film, the trailer looked really cool and it looks like maybe we’re judging this film too quickly. Will you see New Mutants when it hits theaters?
