The New Mutants: 10 Major New Details Revealed About The Marvel Movie

10. It's Still Getting A Theatrical Release...Really!

All those delays have definitely lessened anticipation for The New Mutants among many fans and, at this point, it really does feel like Disney should just pull the plaster off and stick the movie on Disney+. Even before all the madness going on in the world right now, box office tracking pointed to a lowly $15 million - $25 million opening weekend, and it will now inevitably be even lower than that.

Earlier this week, an Australian TV spot appeared to confirm that The New Mutants is indeed heading straight to that streaming service in early September, but last night's Comic-Con@Home panel kicked off with tongue in cheek confirmation that The New Mutants is coming to cinemas on August 28th.

That was accompanied by a small note underneath reading "Fingers crossed," and while Disney deserves credit for having some fun with all these delays, it's impossible to imagine Fox's final X-Men movie meeting that date when the likes of Tenet and Mulan have been completely pulled from the release calendar, with no new slots given to them until things start returning to normal.
