As a result, apparently The New Mutants’ reshoots have been expanded, with potentially as much as 50% of the movie being redone, as well as a character or two being added to the cast who will be major players, not just cameos.
While X-Men: Dark Phoenix being delayed three months is reportedly due to scheduling conflicts, apparently the situation with The New Mutants is more complicated.
Now sources who spoke with Collider say that Josh Boone delivered a cut of The New Mutants that he liked, but 20th Century Fox wants the movie to be more tonally distinctive, akin to what Deadpool and Logan were like.
A new character is expected to be added, while one rumor claimed the extra filming is being done to make the story scarier.
