They need to keep him unique, and if he's the comic relief of the team, he cannot be annoying like Jar Jar was.

The thing about Groot is that he's next to Rocket, Drax, and Gamora.
Very colorful funky characters.

Warlock next to 5 CW looking kids w/out uniforms or costumes might be to visually too off-setting for what seems like another based in reality X-film.

Yeah, I agree, especially without Cypher, how is that going to play out?

That's why I don't think they should introduce Warlock until the second film. This first one is supposed to be horror based, so make the sequel a little more lighter in tone and make it more sci-fi driven.

Are they cramming the Demon Bear into this "trapped in a facility" scenario?

The Demon Bear story is what this movie is based on. I'm sure it won't be 100% faithful to the comic, but that's what has been said is being adapted.

I can see the Demon Bear haunting the team while they try to escape the facility.
Like it locates Dani and friends there, and then hell breaks loose.

I just hope they give Magik her Soulsword in this movie.

‘New Mutants’ Casting Call Teasing Warlock Is Motion Capture?

Ever since New Mutants (Growing Pains) director Josh Boone confirmed that alien X-Men member Warlock would making his debut in the film we’ve been curious if they’d be going practical or motion capture with his role.

A new casting call spotted by Omega Underground seemingly suggests they could be hiring an actor to film the motion capture for Warlock and getting another actor to voice him. Not unlike they did for Colossus on Deadpool.

SKINNY MAN – Male, 20’s – 60’s; Caucasian, must be over 6’9″, extremely tall and skinny. We are looking for someone who is very good with movement. This is a featured principal role with no dialogue.

This could be the first sign of confirmation the character will indeed be done via motion capture and not a mix of practical and CGI. They’ll likely get an unknown for the capturing and then a possible established name to become the character’s voice. The Phalanx alien is often depicted as being rather tall and skinny, it’s been assumed that he would be a CGI character.

A recent extras casting call we posted also gave us Phalanx vibes.

Josh Boone will be directing the film which is said to be more horror focused. His cast includes Anya Taylor-Joy, Maisie Williams, Henry Zaga, Rosario Dawson, and Blu Hunt.

New Mutants is set for release on April 13th, 2018.

'New Mutants' Is A Haunted House Movie With Horny Teenagers

The X-Men movies franchise is taking a decidedly different approach with its new spinoff, New Mutants.

New Mutants recently wrapped filming, but not much is known about the details of its plot just yet. However, when asked about the threat of superhero fatigue, 20th Century Fox CEO Stacey Snider revealed some new information about what the film will be like.

"If we’re going to make a superhero movie, we have to ask ourselves: 'What’s our version? What’s a Fox Marvel film?'," Snider told Variety. "When you look at films like Deadpool or Logan or the upcoming New Mutants, you’ll see they have their own personality."

"Great effort has been put into making sure they’re differentiated," Snider continued. "New Mutants is about these teenagers who are just coming into their powers. It’s like watching mutants go through adolescence and they have no impulse control, so they’re dangerous. The only solution is to put them in a Breakfast Club detention/Cuckoo’s Nest institutional setting. It protects the people on the outside, but it’s strange and combustible inside. The genre is like a haunted-house movie with a bunch of hormonal teenagers. We haven’t seen it as a superhero movie whose genre is more like The Shining than 'we’re teenagers let’s save the world.'"

This description fits well with what little we do know about the New Mutants movie, which is that it is loosely based on the New Mutants comic book story "The Demon Bear Saga." That story sees the New Mutants attacked by a psychic entity that feeds on their negative emotions.

New Mutants currently has a 3.52 out of 5 ComicBook.com User Anticipation Rating, making it the seventeenth most anticipated upcoming comic book movie among ComicBook.com readers. Let us know how excited you are for New Mutants by giving the film your own personal ComicBook.com User Anticipation Rating below.

New Mutants, directed by Josh Boone, opens in theaters on April 13, 2018.

I want X-men not Haunted House movie

[Ant1010]

bet there won't be any one liner comic reliefs in this film.. count me in

[badfingerboogie]

Looks tight - Fox just keeps shaking it up, while the MCU just keeps churning out the same stuff three times a year.

[Foggy]

A X-Men horror film sounds sweet. Just hope the film is a bit less a generic jump scare-a-thon than the trailer suggests.

[cinemaphile]

WTF? That looks like it is barely even a New Mutants movie, if at all.
Looks like generic suprrnatural movie #27 for the year.
