THE NEW MUTANTS<\/a> director Josh Boone<\/strong> has been busy preparing for production on his film, which allegedly starts filming in May. He instagrammed<\/a> a photo of himself on the grounds of 20th Century Fox, where he’s “staring off into the middle distance on the Fox lot during a break” from pre-production. Included in the post was a mention of writer Knate Lee, who took the shot.<\/p>\n

Rumored for release in 2018, upcoming film will follow a group of young mutants who must face the Demon Bear<\/a>, a mystical force that draws power from negative human emotion.<\/p>\n

As hinted by the director, the team roster will likely include fan-favorites such as Dani Moonstar<\/a>, Cannonball<\/a>, Magik<\/a>, Wolfsbane<\/a>, Sunspot<\/a> and Warlock<\/a>, among other supporting characters. Professor Xavier and Storm were previously rumored<\/a> to have roles, though nothing has been officially announced or confirmed.<\/p>\n

‘The New Mutants’ is one of three X-MEN related films set to go into production this year, with DEADPOOL 2<\/a> and the next untitled X-MEN<\/a> going before cameras later this Summer.<\/p>\n

A release date has not been announced, but Fox has pre-scheduled June 29, 2018 and November 2, 2018 as potential dates for their Marvel projects.<\/p>\n
