Two short animated New Mutants teasers show Blu Hunt as Danielle Moonstar, the Native American telepath also known as “Mirage”, as well as Anya Taylor-Joy as Illyana Rasputin, also known as Magik, who uses teleportation, trapped in an asylum with no cure.
The cast also includes Henry Zaga as Roberto da Costa a.k.a Sunspot, a mutant with the ability to absorb and channel solar power; Alice Braga 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; Charlie Heaton as Sam Guthrie, a.k.a. Cannonball; and Maisie Williams as Rahne Sinclair, a.k.a. Wolfsbane, who can turn into a wolf.
Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) directs the horror adaptation of the popular Marvel comic series.
Boone directed from a script he co-wrote with Knate Lee about teenage superheroes-mutants being held against their will.
New Mutants has been set for an April 13, 2018, opening.
