NEW MUTANTS Reshoots Will Add Another Character; Updates On GAMBIT, X-FORCE, And More
Some surprising new details have emerged about Fox's plans for New Mutants, while we have some very interesting updates on everything from Doctor Doom to Gambit and X-Force. Read on for details...
The Hollywood Reporter has provided a very interesting update about what's happening with Fox's Marvel movies and the near future is now looking a lot clearer. For starters, Gambit is still looking for a director and the latest draft of the screenplay is expected to be delivered to the studio next month. It's already been greenlit and that means the studio has budgeted it, so the movie isn't dead quite yet.
X-Force meanwhile is set to begin shooting in October and the plan is still for Drew Goddard to take the helm of the spinoff after penning the screenplay. Both Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin will star.
Here's where things get really interesting, though; the additional photography taking place this summer for Josh Boone's The New Mutants (which has a new release date of February 22nd, 2019 after originally being slated for release this year) will be inserting a new character! It's not clear whether that's another young mutant, a villain, or even a high profile cameo but start speculating now.
Oh, and that Doctor Doom movie from Fargo and Legion showrunner Noah Hawley is still being developed. Why? "They have to proceed as business as usual in case the merger doesn't go through," one agent reveals. "It's a unique position to be in." What do you guys think about this update?
