To add to your curiosity, there are several facts about The New Mutants that will make you want to try watching it even more.

The Dunia Games team will discuss some surprising facts about The New Mutants. Let's see in more detail.

1. Movie Adapted from Marvel Comics Series

It's not surprising anymore, if indeed the current Marvel live action movies are adapted from the original comic series. That also applies to The New Mutants, which is indeed a Marvel movie adapted from the original comic series. In this movie, there will be Marvel characteristics, presenting Marvel superheroes with a storyline that is quite different compared to other Marvel movies that have been released.

2. Horror Teen Storylines

The New Mutants has become a Marvel superhero movie and the 13th franchise of the X-Men which is packed with a different genre from other superhero movies. You will be presented with elements of the horror genre, which is known to have been deliberately presented by the director as a metaphor to show the horrors of a teenager's journey. That being a teenager is difficult and scary is like living in a horror movie.

3. Mysteries in Each Story

The New Mutants is a Marvel movie directed by Josh Boone. Josh Boone, as the director of The New Mutants himself, has leaked that the movie will present an adventure story full of mystery and eerie, which is about the journey of a group of teenagers with supernatural powers. The teenagers also have to save themselves from the threat of a psychiatrist who restrains them, so there will be a lot of tension.

4. Starring Young and Famous Stars

Josh Boone's movie, The New Mutants, turned out to be an out-of-the-box movie. That's because apart from being a Marvel movie, other things come from the actors. For example, there are Anya Taylor-Joy (Magik), Maisie Williams (Wolfsbane), Blu Hunt (Mirage), Henry Zaga (Sunspot), Charlie Heaton (Sam Guthrie). Apart from that, there are also old and well-known actors, such as Antonio Banderas, so that later there will be James McAvoy.

5. Blu Hunt Directly Selected by The Director

In fact, this Marvel movie is the first movie for many up-and-coming teen artists, one of the most interesting is Blu Hunt. Unlike the others, Blu Hunt is an artist that Josh Boone and producer Knate Lee saw right away, which is because they saw footage from Blu Hunt. She is considered worthy of being a Dani, because of her strong and natural character.

6. Consists of Various Ethnicities

Talking about Marvel movies, then it's not surprising anymore if they will play famous stars, old actors or artists. But unlike The New Mutants, the director, Josh Boone, instead involved a new, young cast to present a fresh impression. Another reason, Josh said he was happy to see multi-ethnic artists coming from all over the world.

7. The New Mutants Synopsis

A little initial synopsis of The New Mutants, the movie starts from the hospital. To be precise, Dani (played by Blu Hunt) experienced a tragedy and lay in a hospital. Dr. Cecilia Reyes (played by Alice Braga) consoled herself and told her that she was a mutant. Dani then meets a number of other new mutants. Of course, they are the core players of the movie, each with their respective mutant roles.

8. From the Maker of The Fault in Our Stars

The New Mutants is a movie distributed by 20th Century Studios, which is the 13th volume of The New Mutants as well as the final franchise of the X-Men movie series. This movie, which was directed by Josh Boone, is a movie whose script was worked on by Knate Lee. This movie is not the first time Josh and Knate have worked together. For example, in 2014, where both of them had produced the romantic movie The Fault in Our Stars.

9. Cast Published in March 2016

Even though this Marvel movie is new, everything from this movie has been prepared for so long, to be precise, what has been confirmed from 2016. After the scenario has been prepared, the hunt for the cast begins. In fact, Maisie Williams and Anya Taylor-Joy were the first to pass the audition for The New Mutants, after which they were immediately announced to the public in March 2016. Henry Zaga and Charlie Heaton joined in June 2016.

10. Started Filming in 2017

In addition to the cast that had been prepared for a long time, in fact, filming had also been carried out 4 years ago, in 2017 to be precise. It is known that, in July 2017, filming for The New Mutants had just begun. Comicbook.com also reported on the shooting location in Boston, USA, with the provisional title Growing Pains. The majority of the scenes were shot at the Medfield state hospital, where Peter Deming was entrusted with being the cinematographer.

11. Has Been Rated Generic by Critics

The New Mutants has actually been responded to by various existing movie critics. Writer for The Hollywood Reporter, Jordan Mintzer considered The New Mutants to be generic, and then the movie tried to be sincere and stand-alone. Unfortunately, this movie is considered out of sync with the X-Men franchise. Peter Debruge from Variety also said that The New Mutants is quite coherent with the universe of X-Men cinema, which comes from characters that are easy to remember and make an impression on the minds of the audience.

12. 20th Century Fox's Last Present

The process of acquiring 20th Century Fox to Disney occurred while the post-production process of The New Mutants was still ongoing. So in that way, The New Mutants will be the last Marvel movie offered by 20th Century Fox before the studio is bought by Disney. Apart from that, The New Mutants should have presented quite a memorable story, but for some reason the audience got the opposite when the movie was released.

13. Terrifying Creatures

As a horror movie with lots of mystery and supernatural stories, it is not surprising that the movie's story will present several scary figures. Examples include Smiling Men, the ghost of Pastor Craig, to his girlfriend Roberto's zombie. However, even though there are many scary creatures, unfortunately this movie does not fully contain perfect horror elements, because it is easy for the audience to predict.

14. Unfinished Conflict Resolution

Apart from presenting minimal action that occurs at the end of the movie, the movie does not really present a perfect conflict resolution. For example, only Illyana faced the Demon Bear, but the Demon Bear could only be defeated when Dani began to understand her power and was able to face her fears. Which really seems less exciting, unlike other Marvel movies.

15. Release Date and Where to Watch

The New Mutants has been released in 2020, on December 31th 2020. Because The New Mutants is a Marvel movie, those of you who want to watch it can watch it in full, legal, and with the best subtitles on the Disney Plus Hotstar service. That's because Disney Plus Hotstar will present all Marvel movies, including The New Mutants.
