Tthe actor described the plot of the film and how it will stand out from the traditional X-Men films.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s basically about these mutants in a facility for damaged mutants,\u201d said Heaton. \u201cIt\u2019s a story about these characters coming to grips with who they are and it\u2019s a horror X-Men movie, which we haven\u2019t seen before. I feel like, for an X-Men movie, yeah, I think they\u2019re going full-fledged horror. Without saying too much \u2014 I really don\u2019t want to give away too much what it\u2019s about, it\u2019s very under wraps \u2014 but it is, in terms of anything we\u2019ve seen in the X-Men world, it definitely is a horror film. It\u2019s scarier than anything we\u2019ve seen in that genre.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heaton also talked a bit about his character, <strong>Sam Guthrie<\/strong> aka <strong>Cannonball<\/strong>, in the the Josh Boone-director film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI play Sam Guthrie, whose mutant name is Cannonball. Sam comes from Kentucky, and he\u2019s kind of a working-class boy, and he has the ability to project himself through the sky like a cannonball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The New Mutants will arrive in theaters August 2, 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE NEW MUTANTS star Charlie Heaton opened up to Entertainment Weekly about 20th Century Fox&#8217;s&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":47684,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Charlie Heaton on THE NEW MUTANTS: \"They're going full-fledged horror.\"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15,103,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crew-talk","category-featured","category-new-mutants"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/cannonball-nm.jpg?fit=1029%2C649&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/47684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
