NoScans - Information about the New Mutants movie

[icon_uk]

Courtesy of Comingsoon.net we have what appears to be more information about The New Mutants movie slated for release in early 2018.



Including who/what the villain will be, and a test animatic of a scene from it.

So the team will, as previously announced be Mirage, Wolfsbane, Sunspot, Cannonball, Magik, and Warlock. (STILL missing a certain someone, eyes icon, but such is life)

Allegedly previous casting rumours are confirmed and Maisie Williams will be Rahne and Anya Taylor-Joy will be Illyana, plus the latest is that Nat Wolff will play Cannonball.

The vibe will not be quite what you might expect, but given that the villain will be the Demon Bear (As seen in Bill Sienkiewicz) that might make sense. I suspect that "Stranger Things" will have had a bit of an impact on how this one goes...

What do you mean?

After her turn as the incredibly uninteresting Viking Robot Girl (Yes, I know she's not a robot of any kind) I don't have a great deal of faith in Maisie William's acting abilities.
(Having not seen that "Game of Thrones" thing people have mentioned, I don't know how she was there, but last year's Doctor Who didn't leave a good impression, is all.)
Particularly for a character with Rahne's level of emotional complexity.

Though if the movie retained even half of Rahne's backstory / characterisation, I'd buy a hat and eat it.
(And given the vastly different nature of Moira Mactaggert, pretty sure that relationship isn't going to show up...)

I blame Moffat for that (admittedly, I say this without watching ANY GoT, but I have a severe dislike of Moffat's work).

She's fine in GOT. Great, even. In fact, it's typically Sophie Turner who gets ragged on in Game of Thrones... Largely because she doesn't get all badass or stabby like most characters in the show, and this is typically construed as her being weak despite, you know, *context*..

But yeah, Doctor Who is.. Not particularly an amazing judge of anyone's acting ability, as of late. If I'd only know Capaldi from Who, I wouldn't be particularly impressed, for instance.
