Actress Chara Victoria Gannett revealed<\/a> that her daughter, actress Colbi Gannett<\/strong> (Camping Trip), is portraying a younger version of Anya Taylor-Joy’s Magik<\/a><\/strong> character in director Josh Boone’s THE NEW MUTANTS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“FINALLY! The trailer has dropped and I can share!!!! X-Men: The New Mutants. Colbi was cast as young Magik in the 20th Fox Century, Marvel Film X-Men,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

In the teaser, we see a flashback origin of young Illyana Rasputin in bed holding a stuffed animal that looks like Lockheed<\/a>. It’s speculated that the X-Men’s favorite dragon will come to life (in some form), as he was shown to be a “real” creature in a previously leaked animatic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also know that Magik will keep her Russian roots, as a video<\/a> shows Gannett speaking the language.<\/p>\n

“The New Mutants” arrives in theaters on April 13, 2018.<\/p>\n
