The second image from The New Mutants shows of the nightmare inducing villains The Smiley Men, which are directly tied to Illyana’s past.
It was to protect Mirage in the comics that Magik took on The Demon Bear with the help of her Soulsword.
While the release of the film is uncertain, two stunning new stills from The New Mutants has been shared by Cinefax Magazine.
As in that movie, the battle between Illyana and The Demon Bear is magical in nature, with the young hero wielding the Soulsword, which houses a shard of her soul within it.
