15 Upcoming Movies That Are Already Doomed (And Why)

2. The New Mutants

Why It's Doomed: Though the prospect of the X-Men franchise diverting into horror territory is certainly a compelling idea, and the movie's cast is undeniably promising, the single trailer released so far has wiped away most of that hope.

Awash in cliched horror tropes and visuals, the marketing doesn't suggest that The New Mutants will be a unique spin on the superhero genre as much as it will be a by-the-numbers horror flick with superhero trimmings.

If this really isn't the case, the next trailer needs to leave one hell of an impression or risk derailing the movie long before it even hits screens. Horror rarely bombs at the box office so this one's probably safe in that regard, but quality-wise? Not so much.
