As everyone sits around and talks about the Marvel and DC Cinematic Universes , Fox is quietly doing its own very cool superhero stuff . They ’ve got Deadpool , X - Force , more X - Men movies but it seems like New Mutants may be the most surprising of the bunch .
The Josh Boone direct moving-picture show which star Anya Taylor - Joy and Maisie Williams , among others , opens April 13 , 2018 . cinematography just conclude and , until now , we have n’t heard much about the film outside of what we screw from the comics and characters its base on . Now , the chief executive officer of twentieth Century Fox , Stacey Snider , has flipped those outlook on their head .
Speaking to Variety , she say the pursuit about the pic :
‘ unexampled Mutants ’ is about these teenagers who are just coming into their powers . It ’s like watch mutants go through adolescence and they have no impulse control , so they ’re dangerous . The only resolution is to put them in a ‘ Breakfast Club ’ detention/’Cuckoo ’s Nest ’ institutional scope . It protect the mass on the exterior , but it ’s strange and combustible at bottom . The [ motion picture ] is like a ghost - house movie with a bunch of hormonal teen . We have n’t check it as a superhero movie whose genre is more like ‘ The polishing ’ than ‘ we ’re stripling let ’s save the world . ’
That last prison term read mutually exclusive to the relaxation of the quotation so I opine Snider meant “ We have n’t seen a superhero movie whose genre is more like ‘ The Shining ’ than ‘ we ’re teenagers let ’s economise the world . ’ ” Which lines up more with her calling it a “ haunted theater ” movie .
And if that ’s what she meant , it ’s an exciting notion . We ’ve visualize some smaller , moderate superhero movies in the past , but not with the Marvel stamp of approval or the budget of a Fox output . And the approximation to enter these characters in a small-scale place that ’ll really let develop them sounds impudent . It also allows wad of way to inflate out in sequel and spinoffs moving ahead . On the other hand , that ’s a raft of influence Snider is citing : Breakfast Club , One Flew Over the Cuckoo ’s Nest , The polishing , and haunted sign of the zodiac story . She ’s an executive , of course , so hopefully she ’s just trying to come up with a buzzy description of it rather than that Boone has actually created some sort of nightmare mosaic of superheroes , John Hughes and Stanley Kubrick .
In the interview , Snider also admitted they may reboot Wolverine in the futurity , now that Hugh Jackman has hung up the claw . Which of form they would . Wolverine is far too crucial — and , more importantly , popular — for them to just leave him on the ledge for long . That ’s just much less surprising than New Mutants being like The Shining .
