TheX-Menmovie universe is about to expand withThe New Mutantsand we’re about to get our first good look at the spin-off tomorrow. Director Josh Boone has officially announced that the first teaser trailer forNew Mutantsis set to debut in under 24 hours, which just so happens to mark Friday the 13th on the calendar. The director made the announcement on Instagram and his caption promises that we’re in for something very different from what theX-Men moviesusually provide us with. Here’s what he had to say about it.
“There’s Something New To Fear #tomorrow #newmutants #teaser #xmen #thenewmutants #fridaythe13th”
In his Instagram post, Josh Boone included an image, promising thatThe New Mutantsteaser trailer will arrive at 12:01 a.m. PST. So if you live on the east coast, that means the trailer won’t arrive until 3:01 a.m. So if you’re a massiveX-Menfan and want to be among the first to see the trailer, you may want to plan for a late night. In any case, we’re finally going to get something of an understanding of what to expect from this movie, as it’s been pretty secretive, relatively speaking up to this point.
Josh Boone shared some photos from the set ofNew Mutantswhile it was filming, but we really haven’t seen much. It’s also been described as a horror movie set in theX-Menmovie universe, which is something totally different from anything we’ve encountered so far within the franchise. Since the teaser trailer forNew Mutantsis arriving on Friday the 13th, it seems like they are leaning pretty heavily into that idea. Horror movies are big right now and, if this is executed correctly, this could be a huge hit. Plus, after so manyX-Menmovies, doing something different isn’t just potentially refreshing, it’s becoming necessary.
New MutantsfeaturesRussian teen Magik(Anya Taylor-Joy), Scots girl Wolfsbane (Maisie Williams), Danielle Moonstar (Blu Hunt), Brazilian ladies man Sunspot (Henry Zaga), a Kentuckian code-named Cannonball (Charlie Heaton), andDr. Cecilia Reyes(Alice Braga). As of right now, no synopsis for the movie has been released, but we know it will revolve around who are locked up together in a secure facility.
DeadpoolandLoganwere both massively successful and have given Fox a lot of confidence to do some different thing with theX-Men franchise moving forward. It looks likeThe New Mutants, which is set to hit theaters on July 13, 2025, is going to be yet another example of something unique and possibly a bit of a risk. We’ll have a much better idea after the trailer drops tomorrow if this is a risk that will pay off or not. you may check outJosh Boone’sInstagram announcement for yourself below. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled forThe New Mutantsteaser trailer tomorrow morning.
