Additionally, Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch) is also indicated in the report to have been cast as Illyana Rasputin -- a.k.a Magik -- in New Mutants. Taylor-Joy reportedly impressed The Witch producers Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler-Donner.

The New Mutants will reportedly be rounded out by Cannonball, Sunspot, and Mirage, who have to be cast. The site also notes that James McAvoy's Professor Xavier is headed to the New Mutants film. The movie is currently slated for a 2018 release.

[Update: Fox has denied the initial casting report for its upcoming New Mutants film. According to Nerdist, studios reps describe the rumor as "not true."]

 

[KILL KILL]

Hopefully they don't use the X-Force storyline where she gets drugged up and eats her father.

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

With Wolfsbane now in the X-Men Cinematic Universe, only the Dark Phoenix is a believable threat to the team. But even then, Wolfsbane > Dark Phoenix.

Directed by Zack Snyder.

I don't know her, but that can not be the most flattering photo of Alexandra Shipp.

That's Anya Taylor-Joy and a lot her photos look like that.

Im only recently starting to get into all that comic book stuff because of the movies and tv shows. I do know how amazing and strong Dark Phoenix is from the X-men movies and from reading a little more about it. Never heard of Wolfsbane, though? Sounds like a normal mutant? Shouldnt he/she get crushed by Dark Phoenix?

No way. Her and Squirrel Girl are pretty much unstoppable.

 

[Left Hook Lacy]

Lol ok I get it. Had a quick look at the marvel wikia as well.

 

[Organic Damage]

The Witch was cool beans but that chick looked about 14. And Maisie is pretty much the same.

What is the elevator pitch of New Mutants? X-Men: Jailbait Edition?

@prod2821 is going to be STOKED!

Great casting choice btw.
Idk about Illyana doe.

Karma isn't being cast?
Not only is that racist, it's missing out on that Asian market. Rather have Karma than Storm.




Can't wait for the studio to shoehorn Mystique into this one.

Here is Alexandra Shipp as Storm in X-Men: Apocalypse.

True. But Anya Taylor-Joy looks fantastic in recent photos of her as a brunette. She's around 19-20 years old.

Spoiler

Mine!

If Jubilee survives X-Men: Apocalypse, she could fill in for the Asian member for New Mutants.

Karma> Jubes, but it would solve the Ish

If they do have a Sunspot in the movie, I hope that the character will be closer to what's in the source material. When I saw him flying in Days Of Future Past (DOFP), I was like.. "Uhh, ok. Well better to have him in there in some form..."

I think that the MUST have characters in the film should be
Cannonball
Karma
Mirage

Interested to see who they find for Mirage.

I like Brenda Song for now. She's 28 so she may be too old for the role.

Oh and.. "HHHHHNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!"
