While the release date is an exciting update, The New Mutants still has to get reshoots in the can.
But August isn’t that far all things considered, so the cast and crew is going to have to hustle to get the new footage in the can and included in the theatrical cut.
Reshoots are pretty standard for superhero movies, and will give Josh Boone the chance to finish crafting his story, and allow for the editor’s bay to do their magic.
