20 Incredible Facts You Didn't Know About 2020's Biggest Movies

20. It Was Released 1145 DAYS After Shooting Started - The New Mutants

Incredibly, as the superhero film hit U.S. cinemas at the end of August, it had been a stunning 1145 days - that's three years and almost two months - since the movie started shooting.

And so, by the time The New Mutants was finally released, several of the cast members had aged noticeably in reality - especially Maisie Williams - and in the case of Anya Taylor-Joy, she'd become a far more prominent actor.

Rather aptly, the film was shot under the working title "Growing Pains."
