Josh Boone wrote the script for The New Mutants with his childhood friend Knate Lee, who both grew up obsessed with Marvel Comics.
The director wouldn’t confirm reports that there will be a New Mutants trilogy, or that the villain is the Marvel Comics character Demon Bear, but with casting still under way, hopefully more details will surface soon.
The filmmaker revealed in a new interview that The New Mutants will be a straight-up horror movie.
Josh Boone revealed that they even made their own comic book to pitch their version of The New Mutants to the 20th Century Fox executives, a strategy that certainly paid off.
