THE NEW MUTANTS visual shows signs of Charlie Heaton’s Cannonball origin.

The official social media accounts for THE NEW MUTANTS have updated with a brief visual focusing on Charlie Heaton’s Sam Guthrie aka Cannonball. “They surround you,” says the post, showing him standing in an underground mine.

In the comics, Sam is a Kentuckian who attempts to help out his family by working in the coal mine with his father and a crew. One day, he finds himself trapped in a collapsing mine shaft, where he unconsciously activates his mutant abilities and uses it to save himself and others from the rubble.

The New Mutants frightens theatergoers on April 13, 2018.

They surround you. #NewMutants
