The Smiley Men Attack in the Latest Clip from ‘The New Mutants’

Published

on

Josh Boone‘s horror-superhero movie The New Mutants has finally been released into the world, unfortunately at the worst possible time for a movie to be released in theaters.

If you have to see it right now, we urge you to track down a nearby drive-in theater so you can watch the movie from the safety of your own vehicle. Otherwise you should probably just wait for The New Mutants to be available at home, which surely won’t be too much longer now. With that important disclaimer out of the way, a new clip has arrived this morning.

In it, the nightmarish Smiley Men are on the prowl…

In this terrifying, action-fueled film based on the Marvel comic series, five young people who demonstrate special powers are brought to a secret institution to undergo treatments they are told will cure them of the dangers of their powers.

Included are Danielle Moonstar aka Mirage (Blu Hunt), who creates illusions from other people’s fears; Rahne Sinclair (Maisie Williams), who transforms into the werewolf Wolfsbane; Sam Guthrie (Charlie Heaton), who, as Cannonball, can fly at jet speeds protected by a force field; Roberto da Costa aka Sunspot (Henry Zaga), who absorbs and channels solar power; and Illyana Rasputin aka Magik (Anya Taylor-Joy). The younger sister of Colossus, Magik becomes encased in armor at will and wields a soulsword that amplifies her multiple superhuman and psychic abilities.

Invited by Dr. Cecilia Reyes (Alice Braga) to share their stories about when their powers first manifested, the five “patients” come to understand that they are in a class of people called mutants, who have historically been marginalized and feared. As they relive their origin stories, their memories seem to turn into terrifying realities. Soon, they question what is real and what isn’t, and it becomes clear that the institution isn’t what it seems. Now the question is — why are they being held captive? And who is trying to destroy them?
