It was October 2017 when the first trailer for
The New Mutants was released, but we finally have a fresh look at the movie and, well, it looks pretty damn good to be fair!
Unlike that teaser, this footage doesn't shy away from making references to mutants or showing the main characters' superpowers. We even get to see the Demon Bear in action against Magik as she teleports through the sky with her trademark Soulsword in hand. The horror elements are still there, and it definitely doesn't appear as if reshoots (if they even happened) added any extra characters as was once reported.
It's still surprising that
The New Mutants is getting a theatrical release when Marvel Studios is planning to reboot the
X-Men franchise, but it looks like a movie which has some potential.
Crucially, the trailer also confirms that the Marvel Comics adaptation will be released this April as planned, so the marketing campaign will presumably continue to heat up over the coming weeks as Disney will want to use this one to try and recoup some of their investment after purchasing Fox.
Check out the trailer below and stay tuned for more from it later today!
