Writer and director Josh Boone spoke with Entertainment Weekly about his upcoming X-Men spin-off movie project, NEW MUTANTS. Set to begin filming in July, Boone's best friend and fellow filmmaker Knate Lee wrote the script together. Boone tells EW:
“We made a comic book with what our vision of the series would be. We love that Fox wants to make all these different X-Men spinoffs as drastically different as they can.”
Boone also confirmed to EW that NEW MUTANTS will be a PG-13 horror movie set within Fox's X-Men movie universe.
“We are making a full-fledged horror movie set within the X-Men universe. There are no costumes. There are no supervillains. We’re trying to do something very, very different.”
NEW MUTANTS releases in the U.S. on April 13, 2018.
