NEW MUTANTS: Possible Details On The Reshoots Have Been Revealed As Evidence Mounts About Disney+ Debut

We know that The New Mutants is in serious trouble, but a new report sheds some light on its possible Disney+ debut. Another rumour, meanwhile, claims to reveal what those reshoots would have entailed...

Before the Disney/Fox merger started falling into place, The New Mutants was supposed to undergo extensive reshoots to add new characters and drastically alter the movie's tone. They still haven't happened, though, and now it seems as if the movie will just be released in its current state on the Disney+ streaming service rather than in theaters. 

That obviously makes sense because Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige are planning to reboot the X-Men Universe, and a new report from Vanity Fair now confirms that it will be a "likely casualty" of the merger and "Its moderate budget, younger cast, and smaller spectacle make it the perfect title to send directly to consumers" on the online platform. 

In related news, a SHH Forums user who has a pretty good track record with rumours about these movies has shared some possible intel about what the reshoots would have entailed. 

It's said that Dafne Keen's X-23 was set to be added after her appearance in Logan, which would have lined up with what we heard about Fox having big plans for the character following Hugh Jackman's departure from the role of Wolverine. It's also said that those rumours about Jon Hamm or Antonio Banderas playing Mister Sinister were completely false. 

Finally, it seems that talk of a relationship between Wolfsbane and Mirage have been greatly exaggerated because their "lesbian romance" boils down to little more than a kiss during a game of Spin the Bottle!

Still don't see why this would go to Disney+, unless they are lossening their restrictions on 'non family friendly' content.

I'm not sure how X23 makes any sense. Logan is set in the year 2029. New Mutants is said to be set in the 90s.
I wouldn't mind watching this on streaming, but it'll probably be a bootleg. My subscription list is full right now.

@rabid - I agree that the timeline makes absolutely no sense. But when has that ever stopped the X-Men films?

@rabid - New mutants is set in present day. Josh Boone himself confirmed it to IGN last year.

@rabid - Recast X-23, cast Dafne as Gabby.
rabid
rabid - 3/17/2019, 1:02 PM
@OptionFour - or the comics. The books have a timeline way more busted than the movies

rabid - 3/17/2019, 1:03 PM
@Reeds2Much - Hopefully they just stick to the actual new mutants. I have a feeling the reshoots involve Magneto, not Laura.

@ElvenKingSlayer - he could look so great in live action

@rabid - Yeah! I was looking forward to a horror superhero movie and warlocks "life draining" abilities could also look and work great in horror.

@rabid - ..but with the merger I no longer know.. If there is a chance we could get New Mutants even if this movie exist. .

@BlackBeltJones - Dr. Brule has been in charge of Fox-continuity all along. That explains a lot.

@parkerray -

"Shouldn't these characters AGE appropriately Dr. Brule? Charles and Erik are what...pushing 70 now?"

Hope this is wrong. I was looking forward to this but have zero plans for Disney plus

I don't care how bad New Mutants is. At this point I just want to see Anna Taylor as Magik on the big screen.
GhostDog
GhostDog - 3/17/2019, 12:08 PM
@parkerray - she's worth keeping around for sure if we ever get Magik in the MCU.

It would make zero sense for marvel to release this on Disney+ unless they planned on keeping it within the main universe or keeping the fox realities separate.

Maybe the next big team up will be avengers vs x-men and have Someone like Kang or Galactus be the cause of some kind of quantum anomaly. Yeah I used antman's put quantum in front of things

@MyCoolYoung - I presume they want to consolidate many IPs to the streaming service.

"Buy Disney plus and get every marvel film".

I can see them having subsections under Marvel: MCU related film/shows, Fox X-men films, cartoons, etc.

While I don't know about debuting it on the service (if it's suppsesdly so bad it won't perform well in theatres why would you make it one of the first exclusives to your new streaming service?) I think inevitably be put on there.

@StormXmen123 - by inevitably you mean like not this year right?

If that leaked animatic with Demon Bear is accurate to the final product I don't care if it's theatrical or streaming release just release it!!!!!,
