Boone will begin filming New Mutants in July, working from a screenplay he co-wrote with Knate Lee.
Meanwhile, THR confirmed rumors that Rosario Dawson is in talks for New Mutants, in which she’d play the part of Dr. Cecilia Reyes, a mutant with the power to create a protective bio-field.
Just this morning we learned some interesting new details about New Mutants, the upcoming X-Men spinoff from The Fault in Our Stars director Josh Boone, who describes the project as a “full-fledged horror movie.”
Similar to James McAvoy’s Professor X, Dawson would be playing mentor to the titular group.
