In any case, now the likelihood of The New Mutants actually hitting theaters is more questionable, though the outlet states that it’s “likely” the movie will still be released after Disney has assumed control of Fox and that it’s a “safe bet” that people would eventually be able to check it out on Disney+.
Originally set to come out in April 2018, The New Mutants was pushed back to February 2019 at the beginning of last year to make time for reshoots, and it was pushed again to its current August date since these reshoots were reportedly more extensive than previously believed.
However, the latest word from THR states that the reshoots still haven’t occurred yet, though apparently “things seem to be in the hands of” director Josh Boone.
