We haven’t heard much about THE NEW MUTANTS<\/a> since Josh Boone<\/strong> (The Fault in our Stars) was announced as writer and director exactly three months ago<\/a>, but now there’s an update on the progress being made. Boone took to his Twitter<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> to let fans know that he and co-writer Knate Gwaltney<\/strong> (Kidnap) are “hard at work on the script,” although he “can’t share any details right now!” Even better, he snapped a photo of the screenplay, noting that it’s “not done yet, but we have a lot of pages.”<\/p>\n Based on the popular Marvel comics, The New Mutants<\/a> is a group of teenaged mutant superheroes-in-training. They have been the main characters of three successive comic book series, which often highlight interpersonal and group conflict as well as action and adventure. It featured a large ensemble cast, including the introduction of cult figures Deadpool and Cable. With the end of the first series, the team were relaunched as X-Force in a new, eponymous series.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re so excited to explore this new part of the X-Men universe, and so excited to do it with Josh, who is uniquely suited to tell this story about young characters,\u201d said<\/a> Simon Kinberg, who’s producing with Lauren Shuler Donner.<\/p>\n A release date is not set, though Fox has a mysterious July 13, 2018 date that is still unclaimed.<\/p>\n @BEATIFICVISIONS<\/a> We are hard at work on the script but we can't share any details right now!<\/p>\n — Josh Boone (@JoshBooneMovies) August 3, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
