Ranking The Next 10 Superhero Films From Least Anticipated To Most
10. The New Mutants
At this point, honestly, who is this for?
When this film was first released, it seemed like a promising enough project. Directed by Josh Boone of The Fault in our Stars-fame, the film was set to further flesh out the post-Days of Future Past universe for the X-Men franchise and also set up some new characters who could potentially take over the main franchise in the years to come.
However, since then, the film has had its release date continuously pushed back (to the point that its now coming out a full year later than originally intended) due to studio tinkering and reshoots, allegedly all in an attempt to make the film "more horror-driven".
But in the interim between its release date pushbacks, Disney bought Fox and with each passing day, the X-Men universe's expiration date comes more into focus. The New Mutants is now a film meant to flesh out and expand upon a film franchise that's already dead, so what's even the point?
Pair that with an incredibly underwhelming first trailer from nearly a year ago and things look pretty bleak. The anticipation for this so low, it'll honestly be surprising if this even gets a theatrical release.
