The New Mutants was filmed long before the merger happened, and now we want to see what Boone had in store.
But he has discussed a mid-credits scene that would have teased a set up for the sequel… and introduced Antonio Banderas to the mix.
Josh Boone sounds optimistic when he discusses a sequel.
While we, also, would love to see an expansion on the New Mutants into a franchise, the characters are probably stuck in limbo (no pun intended, Magik fans) because Disney purchased Fox and is likely figuring out how to bring mutants into its existing MCU.
