‘New Mutants’ Release Date Pushed Yet Again, Will Now Open In 2020

Will we ever get to see New Mutants? Or will the movie simply be pushed back, over and over again, until the end of time? The Josh Boone-directed movie was originally slated for April 13, 2018. That changed to February 22, 2019. Which changed yet again, to August 2, 2019. Today, Disney has announced yet another new release date: April 3, 2020.
Reshoots were the reason given for the original delay, but earlier this year, co-star Maisie Williams revealed those reshoots had yet to even happen:
“Who knows when the f*** that’s gonna come out,” she says. There were supposed to be reshoots to “make it scarier,” she explains, but they haven’t actually taken place. She says she saw one of her co-stars, Charlie Heaton, the other day and asked him, “What the f*** is going on with this movie?” He didn’t know either. She smiles. “Hopefully this interview will make everyone hurry up a little bit!”
Why not just release New Mutants at this point? Or schedule it to release on the upcoming Disney streaming service Disney+? The more the film is delayed, the more of a negative reputation it gains. In fact, New Mutants has reached a point where it’s become kind of a joke, with most people assuming it will never see the light of day.
In the film, “Magik, Wolfsbane and other teenage mutants try to come to grips with their superpowers while staying at a secret facility.” Anya Taylor-Joy, Maisie Williams, Charlie Heaton, Henry Zaga, Blu Hunt, and Alice Braga star.
