[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”20042″ img_size=”800×400″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]With X-Men: Dark Phoenix set to premiere in theaters in June, fans are looking forward to the possibility of seeing the franchise in the MCU, when it eventually reboots. However, one film has fans wondering what the future holds for the X-Men, as The New Mutants might once again be delayed.
A new report indicates that The New Mutants was pushed back for a third time, being removed from its August release date for another undetermined date. The film was originally supposed to hit theaters a year ago. When the film was delayed the first time, reports indicated that the script would receive some changes. These reshoots will add a brand new character to the plot. However, the reshoots have yet to take place, and director Josh Boone has since moved on to start the writers room for the upcoming series based on Stephen King’s The Stand.
There’s no word yet on when the reshoots will take place, but rumors have suggested the movie might not be released in theaters at all. Some reports say The New Mutants may be dumped on a streaming service like Hulu or Disney+ after it launches.
Longtime X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner explained that she would rather see the movie released in theaters because of the effort put in to make the movie.
“They worked hard on it,” Shuler Donner said at the TCAs earlier this year. “I want to see it released (theatrically), I’d hate to see it thrown at Hulu.”
Actress Maisie Williams, who has filmed the final season of Game of Thrones since production on The New Mutants wrapped, is also unclear on the status of the movie.
“Who knows when the f**k that’s gonna come out,” she told Rolling Stone. “Hopefully this interview will make everyone hurry up a little bit!”
Check out the trailer for The New Mutants below. Which X-Men character(s) are you looking forward to seeing in the MCU in the future? Let us know.
