Still, the photo itself hints at a kind of dedication to getting these characters right from both Heaton and his co-stars, that comic book fans and general moviegoers alike can look forward to seeing pay off on the big screen – when New Mutants hits theaters next year.
Rosario Dawson is also set for New Mutants, wherein she will play one of the central, older characters among the predominantly-teenaged crew of mutants.
And right at the center of that ensemble will be Heaton, following his breakout turn in season one of Netflix’s Stranger Things.
This time, however, the movie will feature a cast of entirely new characters to the universe, based on the Marvel comic book series of the same name.
