Twentieth Century is using Twitter to educate fans on the various Marvel characters we’ll be seeing in their adaptation of The New Mutants, their X-Men spinoff that will finally make its way to theaters on April 3, 2020.
The new photos include fresh shots of Anya Taylor-Joy as Illyana Rasputin, also known as Magik; Charlie Heaton as Sam Guthrie, a.k.a. Cannonball; Maisie Williams as Rahne Sinclair, a.k.a. Wolfsbane; Henry Zaga as Roberto da Costa a.k.a Sunspot, a mutant with the ability to absorb and channel solar power; and Blu Hunt as Danielle Moonstar, the Native American telepath also known as “Mirage”.
Alice Braga also stars as Dr. Cecilia Reyes, a medical doctor who has the ability to generate a protective bio-field around herself but also has more going on than she lets on.
In the film, “Five young mutants, just discovering their abilities while held in a secret facility against their will, fight to escape their past sins and save themselves.”
Director Josh Boone also made it clear that The New Mutants is very much inspired by Dream Warriors.
