New X-Men Movies Tweet Features New Mutants Magik
The hype machine is turning up the temperature on the PR for New Mutants. And, despite being delayed 152 times, the picture looks so, so cool.
This morning both the New Mutants and X-Men Movies Twitter accounts posted a clip featuring Illyana Rasputin – that would be Colossus’s little sister, Magik.

ICYMI, that panel is here:
Meet Anya
Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays Magik, said, “Because we shot it a while ago, Magik was the first character that I ever had that stomped into a room.
“I never experienced that; it’s just a lot of aggressiveness a lot of the time.”

“But it was really fun,” she added. “And I got to play around with that, a lot.”
Asked about the action scenes (like the ones shown in the top video above) were a highlight for the actor.
“The action scenes… the whole arm and the sword, you feel pretty cool — I think — when you are doing that.”
Looking Back & Forth
Now, we’ve been watching for this movie for a long, long time.
So, it makes sense to catch up on what we expect from this, the latest (and last?) film in the 20th Century Studios X-Men univsers:
- How The New Mutants Connect With X-Men – August 3, 2020
- New Mutants: Breaking Down The Comic-Con Trailer – July 27, 2020
- The New Trailer, Footage For The New Mutants – July 23, 2020
- Marvel: New Mutants Director Eyes Trilogy – June 2, 2020
- New Release Date Announced For Marvel’s New Mutants – May 13, 2020
- Marvel: The New Mutants In The MCU? – January 11, 2020
- Disney Iffy on Release of X-Men-New Mutants – August 14, 2019
But we’re looking to August 28 and the opening of New Mutants. However, will the current pandemic allow the film to bow in theaters? Or, will we all be renting the movie and watching from the couch?
Either way here’s hoping we all get to see it later this month.
