‘The New Mutants’ Opening Scene Debuts During Comic-Con Panel, Retains August Date

While it’s still unclear when “The New Mutants” may finally — finally! — open in theaters, fans who have waited over two years for the movie’s release at least got an extended first look at the film during its Thursday panel at the virtual fan convention Comic-Con@Home.

Then the film cuts to Dani waking up in bed to the sound of explosions. Her father races into her room, pulls her from bed, and tells her to run as fast as she can. They emerge from their home to what seems like the end of the world, with fire and explosions booming all around the trailer park where they live. Dani’s father tells her to hide inside a tree while he goes back to help others, but after some screams, she sees his burned, lifeless body land in front of her.

“The New Mutants” has indeed endured a tortured path to theaters, thanks to reported reshoots that never seemed to materialize and the vagaries of Disney’s multi-billion-dollar acquisition of 20th Century Fox through much of 2018 and 2019. Throughout that process, the movie’s release dates have come and gone, but the panel emphasized that at least some fans of the Marvel Comics title have remained dedicated to the project, including showcasing fan art of many of the characters from the film.

“People have talked about this being a cursed film, because it’s taken forever,” he said. “But I think in some respects the lockdown has really amped up the interest.” Zaga was also exhausted during the shoot, because, he said, he kept avoiding drinking water for a big swimsuit scene that was repeatedly rescheduled. Finally, Boone said he learned what Zaga was doing. “I was like, ‘I would never tell you not to drink water! Go drink water right now!'”
