While speaking with Variety, 20th Century Fox CEO Stacey Snider revealed a very cool tease as to what the concept behind NEW MUTANTS actually is.

"...New Mutants is about these teenagers who are just coming into their powers. It’s like watching mutants go through adolescence and they have no impulse control, so they’re dangerous. The only solution is to put them in a Breakfast Club detention / Cuckoo’s Nest institutional setting. It protects the people on the outside, but it’s strange and combustible inside. The genre is like a haunted-house movie with a bunch of hormonal teenagers. We haven’t seen it as a superhero movie whose genre is more like The Shining than 'we’re teenagers let’s save the world.'"

NEW MUTANTS releases in the U.S. on April 13, 2018.
