Hello nerds!

There’s an all-new trailer for Fox’s The New Mutants, and it actually looks like it could be a good movie.

When Disney bought Fox, the X-Men were finally part of Marvel Studios. Which meant that Dark Phoenix would be the last ever X-Men movie to be released by Fox. And given what Fox did with them, that was probably for the best.

Fox’s track record for mutant movies, outside of Deadpool, was somewhat chaotic, and by and large, a failure for X-Men fans. But Disney’s decision to release The New Mutants, considering it was shelved it for a couple of years, is intriguing. Happily, from the looks of the trailer, fans of the original comic will be pleased. And it might be a sign of great things to come for all mutantkind.

The trailer doesn’t shy away from mutant abilities, or the horror aspects. Which are nice. It’s got an awesome cast that would easily make great additions to the MCU. And we even get to see the Demon Bear. The only issue is there was zero indication this movie will fall under the Marvel Studios umbrella, and it appears to be a “Fox” X-Men movie. For now. I’m fairly certain that if it’s box office is huge, The New Mutants will be brought into the MCU properly. Much like Deadpool.

The New Mutants starring Maisie Williams, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Heaton, Alice Braga, Blu Hunt, and Henry Zaga is in theaters on April 3, 2020.
