New ‘New Mutants’ Trailer Coming In January, Implying The Movie Might Actually Be Released Some Day
RememberThe New Mutants? The horror-tingedX-Menspin-off was supposed to open in theaters in 2018, back before Fox became the property of Disney. Since then, the film has shuffled around several times, with many coming to believe theJosh Boone-directed pic would never see the light of day. But maybe, just maybe, thoseNew Mutantswill have their day. According to Boone, a newNew Mutantstrailer is going to drop sometime in January. In addition to that,New Mutantscomics artistBill Sienkiewiczsays that the film has Marvel’s “blessing”, indicating that we might finally get to see this damn thing.
Technically speaking,New Mutantsis still scheduled for an July 12, 2025 release date. With that in mind, Someone on Instagram asked Josh Boone, director ofThe New Mutants, if a new trailer might be on the way. Boone’s reply: yep!

January is, indeed, soon. And the fact that there’s a new trailer indicates that Disney really does plan to release this thing. Another confirmation thatNew Mutantsmight see the light of day comes from artist Bill Sienkiewicz. While appearing on theFatman Beyondpodcast (viaBloody Disgusting), Sienkiewicz revealed that the movie has Marvel’s blessing:
“I don’t know if I’m even allowed to mention any of this, but I will say that The New Mutants film, if you’ve heard anything about it the last couple years… two days ago, I heard from Josh Boone, the director. And he sent me a new trailer. They’ve been working on it, and it is phenomenal. I got chills. It looks like, because of the whole Disney-Fox merger, takeover, whatever… it’s got the blessings of Marvel. And it feels more Marvel in terms of what they’re doing, but also the horror elements of the film are in place.”
New Mutantswas supposed to open June 10, 2025. Everything was set. There was even a trailer. And then…things changed. The release soon moved to July 17, 2025, before being shuffled once again to July 26, 2025, before finally ending up in April 2020. The reasons for the release date changes vary depending on who you ask, but it boils down to reshoots. Rumors abound that either the film wastooscaryornot scary enough. In any case, even though reshoots were given as the reasoning for delays, those reshoots didn’t happen right away. As recently as March of 2019, starMaisie Williamssaidthe reshoots still hadn’t happened, and added: “Who knows when the fuck that’s gonna come out?”
In May, producer Simon Kinbergsaidthe reshoots would definitely happen before 2019 ended, and apparently, he was telling the truth, because it appears the film is still on track to keep its release date. One question that still lingers: will Disney giveNew Mutantsa theatrical release at this point, or cut their losses and toss the film on Disney+? Perhaps we’ll find out with the new trailer next month.
