Well, it seems we can finally put to rest any speculation about 20th Century Fox’s troubled X-Men spinoff The New Mutants, as director Josh Boone has confirmed on Instagram that the film is on track for its April 2020 release date, and we’ll be getting a brand new trailer this coming Monday.

Originally shot back in the summer of 2017, The New Mutants was initially slated for release in April 2018, but encountered a number of delays after Fox demanded reshoots in order to make the superhero horror more frightening. These reshoots never happened, and the movie was delayed again following Disney’s Fox acquisition, with several rumours claiming that the Mouse House would dump the film direct to a streaming service such as Hulu or Disney+.
Are you happy that we finally have confirmation on the status of The New Mutants? Do you still have any interest in the film? Can it possibly succeed after all of the various issues it has encountered? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below or on our social channels @FlickeringMyth…
