THE NEW MUTANTS Is Still Coming To Theaters - Check Out A New Trailer & The Intense Opening Scene

The New Mutants Comic-Con@Home panel is currently underway, and it's been confirmed that the X-Men spinoff is still heading to theaters next month. We also have a new trailer and the opening scene...

Well, it looks like that TV spot must have been a fake after all. Despite reports that The New Mutants would be bypassing theaters and heading straight to VOD, it was just confirmed at the Comic-Con@Home panel that the movie is sticking with its August 8 theatrical release date.

It's always possible that the film will also be available to stream soon after (we found out earlier today that Bill and Ted Face the Music will hit theaters and VOD simultaneously on September 1st), but for now, it looks like Disney is adamant that Josh Boone's X-Men spinoff will play in theaters. 

The panel also debuted a brand new trailer and the movie's opening sequence, which begins with Danielle Moonstar (Blu Hunt) fleeing from what we assume is the Demon Bear, before witnessing the supernatural creature murder her father. This leads directly into the trailer, which features plenty of awesome new footage of the five young heroes in action. Cannonball blasting? Rahne in wolf form? Magik cutting through enemies with her Soul Sword? It's all here.

We'll add the separate videos once they become available, but for now you'll have to skip to around the 24:30 mark to watch.

Pretty cool. Will it be enough to entice fans back into theaters early next month? We'll just have to wait and see.

With lack of major interest and this pandemic, expecting this to bomb. If only fox hadn’t delayed it to add more horror, just because of IT. At least then fox could have gone out on a good note before disney absorbed them

People are naturally going to be apprehensive about returning to movie theatres whilst we are still in the middle of a global pandemic, especially in the USA where the virus has been allowed to run rampant.

Is anyone seriously going to take that extra little risk in their daily lives for a movie like New Mutants??

You can see now why Christopher Nolan viewed Tenet as being so important to the cinema industry, as it will take something a bit special to coax people back into the seats.

New Mutants is not that movie.

That opening scene was pretty good, but other than that, it feels like we got basically nothing (and in particular, I mean the big release date announcement we’ve all been waiting for) out of it.

The opening monologue by Dani reminds me of those monologues Professor X gave at the start of X-Men, X2, and DOFP. Perhaps it's an intentional tribute.

AMC and Regal are hoping to open to open their theaters next month despite Mulan and Tenet being delayed. Looks like New Mutants will be the first new major release since March. Yay?

Just put it on Disney+ and get it over with. Seems inevitable. Who is gonna take the risk to see NEW MUTANTS?

This ain’t Tenet

@BlackBeltJones - Maybe someone in a country where it'll hopefully be less dangerous to go to the movies in August than in the US (sorry!).




It's me. I'm talking about me.

It's NOT CINEMA if not in a movie theater on the BIG Screen.

Next month, huh. Yeah, sure, okay.

Welcome to the theater, anon. Hope you survive the experience.

Not going to watch any more footage. If this really makes into cinemas after all those hardships I will be there for it (unless things take a serious turn for the worse in terms of Covid-19 here).

Go, you stubborn little movie, you can do this! <3

That clip was weird, but the trailer they showed was actually pretty neat.
