Amph X-Men Movies & TV - Discussion

It'll probably get shoved out the door whenever theaters are at 25% capacity for a week or so.

 

Just saw on Youtube a teaser for The Boy's season 2 and occured to me that Anthony Starr should be the next Magneto

Spoiler

Someone text Feige about this.

 

X-Men Movie Cast Reunites with a surprise guest

 

"X-Men Origins Reunite! Yeah..."

 

Oh my god, shut up.

 

This is either a fantastic fake leak (complete with new footage) or an ad for New Mutants on Disney plus



FYI, while Disney plus in Canada has had X-MEN movies since December, they have recently been added weekly to Disney plus USA. Indication that they're leading up to something?

Just put it out on D+ already! Surely they had to finagle the theatrical release contract by now!

 

Panel discussion. Full opening scene at the end. Still hanging on to the theatrical release, August 25th. We'll see if there's VOD added close to the date

 

So Mulan, which was rescheduled for August 21, gets removed from the release slate indefinitely because of the current situation. And we're supposed to believe The New Mutants is going to hit its August 28 release date? Either this movie is getting pushed again, or it's going straight to VOD or streaming, or it'll actually hit its release date and tank just so it's finally off Disney's hands.

 

I think they're basically using New Mutants as the test case and to also to fulfill the "theatrical release" contractual obligation. I'm thinking like Onward it may hit Disney plus about 2 weeks later.

 

The footage starts at 24:32. That does look cool and that's a lot of Soulsword action.

 

I was extremely impressed with the The New Mutants panel -- from starting off making fun of themselves, to it looking like literally the entire cast was having a blast being together again, and then the footage basically looking like it did originally (gothic horror mutant movie)... basically, I'm still looking forward to this, even if it's been delayed so long.

 

My hope is that the studio just didn't know what to make of a superhero movie with heavy horror elements so they shelved it....but that's exactly what this should be!

 

That's the thing -- people kept speculating about massive reshoots but... most reports from the cast and director say that's not true, that the film now basically looks like the film then, just normal reshoots. Just that the reshoots happened right around the Fox sale, and Disney purchase, and everything else being cancelled things took on a life of their own...

 

This movie may end up being largely inconsequential, at the box office or otherwise. But if a tell all account of it's production were ever written I'd wager it would be fascinating for movie making nerds. Supposedly Fox was initially scared by the horror elements and wanted reshoots to bring it more in line with the typical X-Men movie. Then between the success of It and the buzz from the first trailer being positive they (again supposedly) decided to give Boone enough leash make it a true super hero horror film and reshoot what was needed for that. Then the sale to Disney happened, everything put on hold, then make it as close to what you wanted Josh with what ya got, Feige wants so change it enough to integrate it into the MCU, no Feige wants to kill it ... so much has swirled around this one. If even just a little of it is true it would be an interesting postmortem.

 

Ah, so it went even further than what had previously been heard (which I posted), which was that there were no pickups either...

 

I was under the impression that not a single second of additional time in front of a camera had been devoted to it since they wrapped on primary.

 

probably for the best everyone has aged like 4 years since they shot it anyway.

It seems some theatres are aiming for late August reopening so I think New Mutants and Tenet will be at the forefront of that, but possibly only internationally.

 

a repost...of sorts (not including the fan's SW edit that I posted in the Marvel thread)

She needs to come back to the MCU

 

A look on the troublesome path that led to the downfall of the Fox X-men Cinematic Universe:

PS1: The fact they replaced Synger with publicly known womanizer Brett Ratner certainly make things better.
PS2: About the desastrous 2 last films, i have heard a lot of disturbing things about the set of Apocaypse, that follow/led to the Dark Phoenix mess.

 

I'll die on that hill, the last X-Men movie was actually good.
