Josh Boone’s X-Men spin-off NEW MUTANTS<\/a> is finally coming together, as The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision<\/a> confirms that Anya Taylor-Joy<\/a><\/strong> and Maisie Williams<\/a><\/strong> have officially joined the cast as sorceress\/teleporter Magik<\/a><\/strong> and wolf-transforming Wolfsbane<\/a><\/strong>, respectively.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rumors of their potential casting was actually first reported by Drew McWeeny at HitFix<\/a> in March of 2016.<\/p>\n

While Boone had the actress in mind since last year, he was only able to sign them when production was greenlit earlier this year.<\/p>\n

20th Century Fox and producers are reportedly making “serious efforts” to find “ethnically appropriate” actors for characters such as Native American Danielle Moonstar<\/a> and South American Sunspot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The techno-organic alien Warlock<\/a> and Kentucky-born Cannonball<\/a> are also awaiting casting. Nat Wolff was previously rumored for the Cannonball role, though THR’s Borys Kit tweeted<\/a> that not to be the case.<\/p>\n

On #NewMutants<\/a>: other rumored casting – Nat Wolff as Canonball – not happening either.<\/p>\n
