With its newest film, the X-Men franchise plans on going in a much darker direction. Like, much, much darker. The first trailer for The New Mutants recently dropped, and its overt horror genre vibes definitely gave some longtime fans of the series a shock.
Like Logan, it looks like the new installment into the X-Men universe is making a big tonal shift, and if we’re being honest, we’re totally on board. The film doesn’t premiere until next Spring, but apparently a New Mutants trilogy is already in the works. Here’s everything we know about it so far!The Cast
The core cast consists of a not-so-nice doctor, Dr. Cecilia Reyes (Alice Braga), and the five young mutants imprisoned in the asylum she’s working in. Split‘s Anya Taylor-Joy signed on as Illyana Rasputin (aka Magik, who has teleportation powers), Stranger Things star Charlie Heaton is Sam Guthrie (aka Cannonball, who can fire off powerful balls of energy), Game of Thrones alum Maisie Williams is playing Rahne Sinclair (aka Wolfsbane, who can transform into a wolf at will), The Originals actress Blu Hunt is Danielle Moonstar (aka Mirage, who creates realistic illusions), and 13 Reasons Why‘s Henry Zaga will pop up as Roberto da Costa (aka Sunspot, who absorbs solar energy and converts it to physical strength).
